MIKELE Blouse/Dress | PDF Sewing Pattern

MIKELE – Sew a blouse or dress from woven fabric with a relaxed A-line

Looking for a favorite piece that always fits – whether you're strolling through the city, working from home, or having coffee on a Sunday? MIKELE is exactly that. With a loose fit, a soft A-line swing, and a touch of ruffle, this sewing pattern for a woven blouse or dress delivers the perfect mix of casual and chic.

Sew a blouse or dress – it’s your choice

MIKELE comes in two lengths (blouse or dress) and two sleeve lengths (¾ or long). Whether you prefer it short and breezy or a little longer and cozy – you can easily put together your own version. For warm days, cool evenings, and everything in between.

Sewing pattern for woven fabric – perfect for beginners

MIKELE is sewn from non-stretch fabrics like linen, muslin, or cotton. Sounds demanding? It isn’t. Thanks to the relaxed fit without bust darts, the modest neckline with a facing, and the comfortably gathered sleeves, this project is super beginner-friendly – and still great fun for advanced sewists. And of course, our instructions with a sewing video leave no questions unanswered.

Ruffle love at first sight

The ruffled hem is definitely the highlight: it emphasizes the flowing A-line and makes MIKELE a true feel-good piece with a "wow" effect. And don't worry: the ruffle is easier to sew than it looks – I promise.

Comfortable, figure-flattering & versatile

No zippers, no button plackets, no complicated pattern pieces. Instead: plenty of freedom of movement, a beautiful drape, and a look that suits almost every figure. Whether you wear MIKELE as a loose-fitting woven blouse, a feminine dress, or as part of your handmade wardrobe – you’re going to love it.
