Lauren's Nepheline Top in Vintage White Textured Cotton
I made this version of the Nepheline Blouse using our beautiful vintage textured cotton and added an inset lace detail to the sleeves and bodice for an extra special finish.
If you'd like to make your own, you'll find your shopping list below. To recreate the lace insert, I've also included my Nepheline Blouse Hints & Tips video, where I show you how to make the simple pattern adaptation alongside the pattern instructions.
Lauren's Notes:
• Fabric choice: This vintage texture cotton has a lovely linen-like texture with enough body to hold the shape of the blouse beautifully, especially the pleated sleeves.
• Styling tip: This is such a hardworking piece in my wardrobe. I love wearing it with jeans or simple trousers for an outfit that always feels effortlessly put together.
• Difficulty level: A great project for advanced beginners. The pattern includes techniques like button plackets, bias binding and tucks, and if you'd like to add the optional lace insert, I explain the simple pattern adjustments in my Hints & Tips video.
