DIY Tie-Front Blouse

Hi there, I finally updated this blog after months away. Life was busy but I still sewing a few stuff. I mostly share on my IG or TikTok.

And today, I'd love to share my latest make, a tie-front blouse. A comfy summer blouse with cute tie and gathered front. I made it in short sleeve and the length was right on my hipline, this blouse will be easy to wear with denim pants or skirt.

I was happy with the final blouse and planning to make more to fill a gap in my summer wardrobe.

For the fabric, I used printed cotton from my stash, it was a souvenir from our trip to Bali and for the pattern, I used a self-drafted pattern - based on my basic sloper and modified it.

The sewing process started with cutting the fabric and followed with fuse the front facing and back neck facing with fusible interfacing.

After that, I sewed the ties. It was a bit difficult to pull the tiny ties out but in the end I did 😊

I attached the ties by pinning and sewing them between the facing and front side, right sides together. Clipped the curve space and turned them inside out.

Folded and ironed the seam allowances inside, this method worked well for me, it made the sewing job easier.

I sewed and gathered the front piece evenly.

Pinned the front pieces right sides together and sewed it along the line.

And the front piece was done.

After that I sewed the back piece and attached both pieces together. Followed by sewing the sleeves, blouse sides, sleeve hems and hemline.

The tie-front blouse is finished and here are the look of the front, side and back.
