Bloomsbury – PDF sewing pattern

£9.00

A high-necked, Edwardian-inspired blouse for the romantic in all of us. Choose to make the narrow ruffles and appear dainty and demure, or opt for an unequivocally flamboyant and fun look with the bold wide ruffles. Ruffles have been dominating the catwalk in recent seasons but Bloomsbury translates a trend that can sometimes be a little OTT into a garment easy to wear and style. Well suited to lightweight cottons, if you’re feeling adventurous Bloomsbury could also be made in a drapey fabric or even velvet and lace for a touch of high Victoriana.

The blouse features a high collar, a yoked bodice with two ruffle options, button-back fastening, bracelet-length sleeves and the option to add ruffles to the collar and/or sleeves. Whilst care is required when sewing the yoke and collar curves, this pattern should be suitable for an ambitious beginner who isn’t afraid of taking their sewing to the next stage.

Skill level: intermediate

Suitable Fabrics

Lightweight wovens e.g. cotton lawn. This pattern will also work in velvet, dupion silk, or with contrasting lace for the yoke sections.

Notions

6 x 1/2” buttons, fusible interfacing for the collar band.

Fabric requirements:

The fabric requirements stated are intended for prints without obvious directionals; if you have a fabric with an obvious directional you will require additional length (see cutting layouts). For sizing, see our size chart.

1.4–1.9 metres / 1.75–2.25 yds

Happy Friday, it’s finally here - the Kew Dress Happy Friday, it’s finally here - the Kew Dress and Skirt is now available in sizes 16-28! 🎉 Here’s gorgeous Laura aka @thespeckyseamstress wearing version 1 - check out the product page for other stunning tester versions across all 3 variations! 

The printed version will be available in two weeks’ time. The Kew skirt expansion pack needs another round of testing but I’m hoping it will be ready in 2-3 weeks (check our Laura’s other versions for a sneak peek!). Then Park Lane will be the next to join the 16-28 range! 😀

A few days’ late but this was my Valentine’s o A few days’ late but this was my Valentine’s outfit - something I’d been dreaming of since the release of Bakerloo! Yes indeed - it’s a barely recognisable hacked #bakerloodress, made from silk organza without the collar but with an added skirt frill. Underneath I’m wearing a shortened and tightened satin #sadieslipdress. Is this one of the most grandly impractical outfits I’ve ever made? Probably! But what’s the point of sewing if we can’t go mad with it sometimes?! 

Let me know if you’d like a blog post on creating this hack as it’s super simple!

I want anything fancy, frilly and extravagant and am planning a bow-laden Bakerloo accordingly! 🎀 Anyone else find their wardrobe plans now being dictated by Netflix?! 😄
