Puff sleeve blouse Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Simple sewing instructions are written on the pattern paper.

This pattern is for the blouse shown in the reference photo.

This is a puff sleeve blouse pattern for winged character costumes, with openings on the back for attaching wings.

The openings can be closed with zippers, so this structure may also be useful as a reference for similar costumes.

This design has many detailed parts, such as a large collar with a collar stand, an irregular button shape, puff sleeves, and shirring at the sleeve hems.

The pattern for the gathered frill around the collar is not included. The required length is written on the pattern, so please use ready-made lace or make the frill yourself.

After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, paste them together, and cut out the pattern pieces. Seam allowances are included, so you can use the pattern as-is.

(1) Finish the shoulder and side edges of Front Bodice (Right) and Front Bodice (Left). Finish the shoulder edge and both side edges of Back Bodice (Side). Finish both side edges and the hem edge of Back Bodice (Back).

(2) Apply fusible interfacing to all facing pieces, the collar stand, and the collars.

* Be careful about the direction when applying fusible interfacing to Facing (Right) and Facing (Left).

(3) Sew the facing pieces together. Press the seam allowances open with an iron, and finish the outer edge.

(4) Apply stay tape to the zipper attachment positions of Back Bodice (Back) and Back Bodice (Side). Sew them together up to the zipper stop position, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

* When pressing the seam allowances open, also fold the zipper section inward by 1 cm (0.5 in).

* If you do not use a zipper, do not apply stay tape and do not make a zipper stop position. Simply sew the pieces together and press the seam allowances open with an iron.

(5) Sew the shoulder seams and side seams of the front bodice and back bodice together. Press the seam allowances open with an iron.

(6) Finish the hem edge of the bodice, and fold it inward by 1 cm (0.5 in) with an iron.

* If you attach a gathered frill, insert the gathered frill inside the collar at the gathered frill position during this step.

* If inserting the gathered frill is difficult, do not sew the collar inside out. First fold the collar edges except for the neckline, then topstitch while inserting the gathered frill.

(9) Sew the collar while sandwiching it between the collar stand pieces. Turn it right side out, and shape it with an iron.

(10) Match the collar stand to the collar stand attachment position on the bodice. Sew it together while sandwiching the collar stand with the facing. Shape it with an iron.
