Here is a new addition to my slowly growing downloadable sewing patterns.
This sewing pattern is for a loose fit blouse. An easy and quickly made top with either short or long sleeves in the Eur sizes 34 to 44 / US sizes 4 to 14 / UK sizes 8 - 18.
In the PDF files I describe step by step how to sew your own blouse guided by drawings and photos. Also for a beginner in sewing, the instructions are simple to follow.
The PDF files consist of * the pattern for a French Peasants Blouse * a read me file in English * and the sewing instructions in English
In the photos I wear the top in the size Eur 36. My measurements are bust 84 cm / 33 inches, waist 70 cm / 27 inches and I am 1.69m / 5'5" So you have a reference.
The maximum dimensions of fabric you will need to make the top is 130-140 wide x 150 long cm / 1.53 yards by 1.64 yards. This is for the largest size with long sleeves. You will also need 2 lengths of elastic for the sleeves of around 5 to 8 mm wide. If you prefer the neckline to close with elastic instead of a string, you will also need some elastic for the neckline. Specific lengths are in the sewing instructions and differ by chosen size.
The pattern can be printed on A4 format paper or 8.5 by 11", taped together and then you can simply cut out the size you need. ***Please note to print page 2 of the pattern before printing the rest of the pages. Page 2 contains the test square to see if the pattern is printed in the actual size.
PDF files can be read with the free software Adobe Acrobat Reader, often already installed on computers but if not, safe to download from the internet.
If you have any questions, before or after downloading the files, you can always contact me.
Merci, Marion

Bloem Linen
Hello,
In 2015 I created Bloem Linen making linen aprons. In the following years I slowly added linen clothing and nightwear to my brand. Regularly I received messages from customers asking if I would sell my sewing patterns. And these requests lead to plunging into learning how to turn my paper patterns into downloadable files.
I hope you enjoy my always growing list of patterns. If you have questions, remarks, suggestions or see faults in my patterns, please don't hesitate to write me, I am always open to improve my patterns.
Thank you, Marion
