  2. Fabric Selection and Preparation:
    • Select a suitable fabric for your blouse. Consider factors like drape, weight, and texture based on the style of blouse you want. Now I will make it with a cotton fabric.
    • Cutting the Fabric:
      1. Lay out your pattern pieces on the fabric according to the instructions.
      2. Pin the pattern pieces to the fabric and carefully cut around them, ensuring accuracy and neat edges.

Front part bust shaping:  at first you go from up to 9 inches to the center point. then make a mark with 4 widths from the block side. It’s a point, you need 4 points, from center to  armhole shape to mark a point with 2.5 inches. Mark 3rd point from center to bottom-left side it’s also 2.5 inches. Yes we get 4 points. You can give a shape that looks round.

  • Hem the bottom of the blouse, sleeves, and neckline.
  1. Adding Details:
    • If your blouse design includes details like buttons, zippers, attach these. Here I use buttons. So, I cut the front part center and added 4 inches fabric for the button border. In another part I add 3 inches fabric and fold and make a cover and cut the cut for the button.
    • Adding button: I use normal button 
    • Adding button hole: I used blanket stitch for making button hole.
    • Finish any raw edges with a serger or a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying.
  2. Final Finishing:
    • Press the seams and any hems to ensure a crisp finish.
    • Try on the blouse to check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
