Sewing a girls' blouse: With my FAYE children's blouse pattern, even beginners can sew a quick blouse. The girls' blouse has casual pleats and is made with darts. They ensure a great fit.
A children's blouse made from jersey or other stretchy fabrics is super comfortable and really quick to sew!
With the beginner-friendly pattern, you can also create a great mother-child outfit. After all, I also have the FAYE blouse for women to match FAYE mini. And it's available in sizes up to 60.
What makes the FAYE mini blouse special?
Faye mini is a wonderfully airy, comfortable basic blouse cut. The longer-cut back piece falls loosely over the hips thanks to the pleasant pleating.
The front and back pieces have a small dart that creates pretty shoulders and ensures a good fit. The blouse has a medium-wide neckline.
At the hem, Faye mini has a small slit that provides plenty of freedom of movement and traces the step between the front and back pieces in a flattering hemline.
The three-quarter sleeves are casually cut and move with every movement.
What fabrics is the girls' blouse sewn from?
FAYE Mini is sewn from stretchy fabrics*.
For example, fun jersey panel fabrics* are fantastic for the blouse. This way, you'll have a great combination fabric that beautifully accentuates the dart!
In the instructions, I show how to sew it on woven fabric so that you can see everything clearly and the typical rolled edges of jersey fabric won't confuse you.
You can also add a slit to the dart of the back piece. I'll show you how to do this in the instructions.
Make sure the fabrics are not too thick. Viscose jersey, cotton jersey, denim or stretch corduroy, for example, are very suitable.
If you like sewing the children's blouse from woven fabric, i.e., non-stretch fabrics, you could also add a small slit to the front dart. This way, the blouse can easily be pulled over the head.
What else you should pay attention to with woven fabric: Please sew the blouse one size larger for non-elastic fabrics.
This way, you can sew a beautiful denim tunic for girls, for example. I finished Lani's neckline and back slit with a rose-patterned bias tape. It matches the rose appliqué that Lani really likes.
You can buy the pretty rose appliqué* ready-made and simply topstitch it onto the denim fabric* with a straight stitch.
This pattern always makes me think a little of the little sister of Michel from Lönneberga. I think the blouse really has something Bullerbü-like about it. :)
