spring blouse pattern


free from crafthabit.com
 
 
This  project  is  a  spring  blouse  pattern  based  on  
the  infinity  dress  pattern  I  did  a  while  back.  
 
The  whole  pattern  consists  of  four  pieces,  a  quarter  
circle  “skirt,  two  front  bust  pieces  and  the  back  piece.  
 
Materials  Needed:  
• 1  1/2  Yards  Knit  Fabric  
• Thread  
 
Pattern  Pieces:  
• Quater  circle  piece  (cut  one  on  fold)  
• Front  straps  (cut  two  on  fold)  
• Back  (cut  one)  
 
Seam  allowance  is  not  included.  Hemming  is  not  
necessary  if  the  pieces  are  cut  smoothly  enough.  
 
The  first  thing  you  need  to  do  is  determine  the  
diameter  of  your  waist.  Just  think  back  to  Jr.  High  math  
class,  and  if  you  still  can’t  remember  Google  can  help  
you  out.  
 
Diameter  =  circumference  (your  waist  measurement)/  
3.14.  
 
 
 
 
So  my  waist  measurement  is  30″/3.14=  9.55″.  The  other  measurements  you’ll  need  are  your  
shoulder  width  and  torso  height.

Step  1:  First  start  by  creating  the  circle  top.  Attach  a  piece  of  yarn  or  string  to  a  screw  in  a  block  of  
wood.  The  string  should  be  your  circumference  of  your  waist.  Draw  a  curved  line  to  create  a  
quarter  circle.    To  create  the  bottom  hem  measurement  on  the  circle  top  cut  a  piece  of  string  that  
equals  your  circumference  measurement  plus  your  torso  height.  Draw  a  second  curved  line  to  
finish  the  quarter  circle  pattern  piece.  Cut  one-­‐quarter  circle  piece  on  the  fold.  
 

 
 
Step  2:    Cut  two  front  strap  10″x  13″  pieces  on  the  fold.  Cut  one  back  piece.

Step  3:  Sew  together  the  short  side  of  the  circle  piece,  right  sides  facing.  Pin  the  back  piece  to  the  
circle  piece,  lining  up  with  the  side  hems  and  sew  right  sides  facing.  
 
Step  4:  Pin  the  front  strap  pieces  with  a  small  overlap  with  each  other  and  the  back  piece.  
 

 
 
Step  5:  Sew  together  front  straps  and  back  pieces  using  a  zigzag  stitch  for  stretch.  Done!
