Sewing pattern tutorial: How to sew the Bellini blouse?

You want to sew your first blouse without difficulty, then follow me in the step by step of the Bellini sewing pattern !

This pretty model will be perfect for learning how to sew a blouse or shirt easily: it does not have a collar, sewing the slit at the bottom of the sleeve is made easier by a 2-part sleeve construction (so no tear-proof slit or capuchin tab), the bottom of the garment is straight so you will not have to deal with a rounded hem.
Bellini, on the other hand, has some very pretty details for a unique piece of sewing: pleats on the shoulders which will be repeated on the back of the garment, a clean back ensured by a sheath assembly, a beautiful open neckline, a supple line, very comfortable to wear outside or tucked into the pants.

You can sew your pattern with many different fabrics depending on the desired result: sophisticated in Lily viscose jacquard or silk, more casual in cotton or chambray, light as a breath and ultra sparkling in our striped viscose voiles or our printed poplins .

The technical points covered in this free, easy-to-follow sewing tutorial are:

  • Sew a breast clip

  • Sewing stitched pleats

  • Assemble a sheath back yoke

  • Sew a sleeve in 2 parts

  • Sew a buttoned cuff

  • Make a button placket (only for the blouse version, the blouse version will have the front bust cut x1 at the fold following the center front line indicated on the pattern)

Happy sewing!
