*Pre-Sale* Lauren's Anthea Blouse in Navy Bee Happy Blooms Cotton Lawn
I’m always drawn to a blouse that feels special but is still easy to wear, and the Anthea Blouse is a lovely pattern for creating just that!
Please note: This fabric is on pre-sale. We expect to ship the project out to you before Christmas. If you would like to order other items, please note that any other items ordered with a pre-sale fabric will all be shipped together when the fabric arrives.
For my version, I chose our exclusive Navy Bee Happy Blooms Cotton Lawn. The darker background gives the floral print a slightly different feel, while the lightweight cotton makes it a beautiful choice for a blouse with plenty of movement and detail.

Lauren's Notes:
• Fabric choice: The lightweight cotton lawn is a lovely choice for a blouse, giving a smooth finish and enough crispness to show off the garment’s details. The navy Bee Happy Blooms print feels classic but still has plenty of personality.
• Sewing tip: I used iron-on forming tape in place of stay-stitching around the neckline. This handy tape keeps the neckline stable and prevents anything stretching out of shape as you sew.
• Difficulty level: A satisfying blouse-making project if you’re comfortable working with lightweight woven fabrics. Take your time with the smaller details and handle the cotton lawn gently to keep everything neat and precise.
The fabric quantity included is suitable for making the Anthea Blouse in sizes 00-22, based on the pattern's recommended fabric requirements. If you're making a different size or different version, check the pattern instructions in the gallery and adjust the quantity before adding to your basket.
