Mara blouse pattern tour

 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 Compagnie M. October 1-6 to see all the variations that were sewn for the pattern blog tour.

Marte has generously offered to give a copy of her Mara blouse pattern to nest full of eggs blog readers. Enter below for a chance to win. One person will be chosen to receive the sewing pattern. The giveaway is open until October 6th.

 The prize: Sunki dress (using this pattern), long sleeves, made out of pink wool, size 4/5, it will fit a girl with 22.5-23 inch chest and 23-24.5 inch hips.

Enter to win:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the dress or the sewing pattern, I really love the style of the dress, it's just that my daughter is currently into full skirt dresses (twirly, circle, gathered, etc), so she's not wearing short dresses or tunics right now. It was worn one day, the day that these modeled photos were taken. Leggings not included (they ripped apart during the first wearing). It is a long sleeve wool dress, so it would be ideal for a girl who lives in an area where the weather does get cooler.
