Sewing the blouse “Sina”

A flowing viscose fabric is ideal for this project since it is pleasant to wear and does not let the frills appear too intrusive. We used the the Ruffler # 86 to create even frills.

The sleeve ends are turned into a flounce by an elastic, giving the blouse another playful detail.

Our author Bea Callemeyn chose a light weight stretch fabric to recreate the “Sina” blouse for herself. You can find her step-by-step tutorial with additional tips and tricks here: Tutorial for the Sina blouse
