Video: The Marlene Blouse

Come sew along with me as I sew a gorgeous Marlene Blouse.

Hope you love this video & find it helpful! Don't forget to download this pattern and instructions in the separate Marlene Blouse pattern post.

xoxo,
Gertie

P.S. A few steps were sewn off camera, so be sure to follow along with the pattern Instructions so you don’t miss them!

• Sewing the side seams

• Sewing the sleeve and sleeve support, then gathering them separately

We made a few changes to the pattern after filming:

• there are no center back notches on the Collar, Undercollar, or Back Yoke pattern pieces

• the neckline notch on the Collar/Undercollar matches the gathered seam where the Blouse Front meets the Back Yoke
