I had the pleasure of sewing up a dress for the Mara blouse pattern blog tour. Marte from
Compagnie M. designed the
Mara blouse pattern (a PDF pattern) and it is now available for purchase. Available is sizes 1Y - 10Y, the pattern includes both with or without seam allowances, and all measurements are in centimeters and inches.
The
Mara blouse sewing pattern has a vintage touch with the front yoke and pin tucks.
There are 4 different sleeve options:
- sleeveless
- butterfly sleeves
- flutter sleeves
- long sleeves
Plus you can adjust the pattern into a dress (by following 2 detailed tutorials):
- an A-line dress with or without a colored hem band
- a gathered skirt dress
My version is a sleeveless dress. I followed the tutorial on how to adjust the blouse to a basic A-line dress. I used gray linen, deep red stretch suede piping, and 3 black buttons. It is given a difficulty level of 2 out of 4 and I think that is right on. I sewed up a size 5Y and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I like all the little details which take a bit of time and attention, but after those are complete the rest sews up super fast.
Be sure to visit
