The Poppy blouse by Pattern Scout is fantastic. I’ve made it in voile, lace and a rayon crinkle & always get compliments. The ruffled collar makes it really special, just be sure to really stitch the gathers in place, more than what the pattern directs. The designer also has a hack for a short sleeve option. I do not add the tie at the collar & just stitch up to my preferred neckline plunge depth for a v-neck effect. Really like the Vicki Sews patterns & will check those out. Great collection of designs- thank you for another great video & have a great time sailing! I used to sail years ago & miss slicing thru the water with the wind. Ocean only once, sailed mostly on a big lake in the PNW in the US. Good times indeed.
Thank you ! I sew my own wardrobe every season as much as I can, I got very inspired by your research! 😊 Looks like Luis XV fashion blouse is coming back! 😅 Love it !
My favourite boho blouse is the Madswick Raida blouse which has lots of variations with some inspirational styling photographs on the website. It has pintucks, which I consider a boho essential. I’m not usually a Tilly and the Buttons fan but I make an exception for the Marnie blouse which also has lots of variations and lovely pintucks. Continuing my pursuit of pintucks, I am considering the Frux Studio Garden Dress and Top.
I made a Sew House 7 Remy Raglan with the gathered sleeve and split neck hack and it has definite boho vibes. I am intrigued by the Liberty Thea pattern, mainly the different sleeve styles.
I made the Fibre Mood Lulu but had real problems with the stand collar which I could not get to fit . Drove me mad!! Loved the sleeves though. There is a new Style Arc pattern with a ruffle collar which I fancy and I have made the Nephaline blouse with the ruffle neck and pleat sleeve detail which I absolutely love. Great round up again. Thank you and good luck with your sailing. 😊 Lynne
I think the Liberty pattern is a rebadged McCalls pattern. Tbh - you could probably hack a standard blouse pattern to get the effect....cut across the sleeve partway along the arm scye section, add seam allowance, slash and spread the lower sleeve.
I love boho blouses! Great research, thanks for finding the inspiration and the patterns. Tianas closet has a few boho styles. I've made two different versions of the Isla Split Neck Top. The pattern is short sleeved, but I plan on changing it to ling sleeves with a gather cuff using a broderie anglaise. Well, actually, it's 2 thrifted dresses that I cut apart. I also a few Big 4 older patterns that have that boho feel. Please show some pictures of your sailing adventures. How exciting! I love when bloggers share something like that. For me, it's armchair travelling. 😅
Good luck with your practical in Croatia. Not sure if this falls into the Boho category but I'm currently cutting out the Nepheline Blouse by Vivian Shao Chen in Liberty Tana Lawn. Finished my Assembly Line Cap Sleeve (not Boho) last week also in Liberty and loved it. Great episode, thanks for all your research. The Liza Blouse might be on my radar.
Great vlog. FYI the Liberty Esther blouse pattern exactly the same as McCalls M7325. Liberty rebadge patterns as others have said. I’ve made the March blouse by Helen’s closet in broderie anglais a lovely boho blouse
I love the Roscoe by True bias. I bought that blue liberty floral and the thea pattern but the shoulder came out very oversized ( never usually an issue for me) Must revisit! Also love the Pauline Alice Reina blouse which ive made a couple of versionof and the Fibremood Tilly
Lovely vlog thanks so much, Rachael! I’d absolutely love to make the FM Paulette in a Tana Lawn - so pretty without being OTT. Xxx thanks again for all your hard work and inspiration ❤ and good luck with the sailing ⛵️ xx
I always enjoy your videos, thanks. The Raida blouse by Madswick has an option for a pleated yoke. Not smocked but a similar vibe. I haven't made it but I'm tempted to.
I always love your videos! Have you seen Fibre Mood pattern "Hortense'? I downloaded the pattern but have yet to sew it. It has lots of smocking, which is what I loved about it. Lynda Th
Thank you. I gave made the vali blouse (pattern fantastique) and the Le blouse (atelier brunette). I think they both count as Boho style. I love that liberty blouse with the enormous sleeve. I think that I need to add that yo my list of things to sew
I’ve made the Anna Allen Anthea in a cotton poplin and I love it, but the cotton poplin gives a crisper look than the boho look, I’ll have to try it in a softer fabric. I love the Tilly and the Buttons Marnie that I’ve made in a Swiss Dot and I’m currently making another. I would like to try the Wardrobe by Me Moire now, I’ve never seen that one before, it’s lovely. Thankyou Rachael.
Just back from sailing the Dalmatian coast, it was wonderful. Good luck with your Day Skipper, not an easy qualification to complete. Love all the boho blouses & inspo, thanks so much. ❤
