I love the little details that make a handmade blouse feel truly special, and the pintucks on my Lèana Blouse are just that! The pintucks add delicate texture and interest without needing a bold design feature, while the Cream Bee Happy Blooms Cotton Lawn keeps the overall look light and fresh.
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.
If you'd like to make your own, you'll find your shopping list below. Included with the pattern instructions is my Lèana Blouse Top Tips video to use alongside the pattern instructions, where I share lots of extra guidance for sewing all those lovely details.
Lauren's Notes:
• Fabric choice: I chose cotton lawn because it’s lightweight and smooth, making it a lovely fabric for a blouse with pintucks. It’s comfortable to wear and has enough crispness to help the stitched details show clearly.
• Styling tip:I’d tuck this into jeans or wear it with a simple skirt, letting the pintucks and floral print take centre stage. The cream colourway works beautifully with denim, soft greens and warm neutrals.
• Difficulty level:A rewarding project if you enjoy taking your time over the details. The lightweight cotton lawn is lovely to sew, and careful marking and accurate stitching will help you achieve neat, even pintucks.
The fabric quantity included is suitable for making the Lèana Blouse in sizes 4-20, 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.
