Vikisews - Sumaya Blouse Sewing Pattern (UK 6-24)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Sizes: UK 6-24

Description

Sumaya is an elegantly tailored blouse with a semi-fitted silhouette that gently emphasizes the waist. The front design showcases a slit in the centre seam that elegantly extends into a crossover draped detail. Divided into two parts, these segments twist gracefully at the bust, seamlessly transitioning into a pleated grown-on stand collar, adding a touch of sophistication to the blouse's frontal view.

The back of the blouse is crafted with meticulous detail, featuring shoulder darts and a central seam that ensures a contoured and flattering shape. Additionally, a keyhole opening at the back is incorporated for added flair and ease of wear. The stand collar, coupled with a button and rouleau loop closure, offers a refined and secure finish to the neckline.

Its long, set-in sleeves are designed to be semi-fitted, complementing the overall tailored look. Sumaya is crafted to a hip-length, striking a balance between versatility and style, making it a chic and versatile piece for various occasions.

Recommended Fabric

Blouse and dress-weight fabrics that possess certain characteristics:

• Light to medium weight

Recommended fibre contents include a variety of options: natural fibres such as silk or cotton, artificial fibres like viscose, blends (e.g., cotton + silk, cotton + viscose, silk + viscose), and synthetics such as polyester.

The ideal fabric options encompass natural or artificial silk and crepe, as they typically align with the desired properties without being too sheer or heavy.

The blouse featured in the photo is constructed using artificial silk, which is a lightweight, soft fabric with excellent drape and very little stretch. The material comprises 100% polyester, weighing 230 g/m². Additionally, the interfacing weight used for this blouse is 30 g/m², complementing the fabric's characteristics.
