Blouse/Dress MIKELE | Paper 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 town, working from home, or grabbing coffee on a Sunday? MIKELE is exactly that kind of piece. Loosely cut, swinging in a gentle A-line, and with a touch of ruffle – this sewing pattern for a blouse or dress made of woven fabric offers just the right mix of casualness and chic.

Sew a blouse or dress – the choice is yours

MIKELE comes in two lengths (blouse or dress) and two sleeve lengths (¾ or long). Whether you prefer it short & breezy or a bit longer & cozy – you can easily assemble your own version. Perfect 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’s not. Thanks to the relaxed fit without bust darts, the neckline finished with a facing, and the comfortably gathered sleeves, this project is super beginner-friendly – and is also great fun for advanced sewers. And of course, our instructions, including 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 turns MIKELE into a real 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 zipper, no button placket, no complicated pattern pieces. Instead: plenty of freedom of movement, a beautiful drape, and a look that suits almost every figure. Whether you use MIKELE as a loose blouse made of woven fabric, a feminine dress, or as part of your handmade wardrobe – you will love it.
