Gilbert Blouse

Originally released alongside the Sewing Society Kit in August 2021, this video contains exclusive hints and tips for making the Helens Closet Gilbert Top.

This video is perfect if you already own a copy of the Gilbert sewing pattern and the supplies to make it but would like some helpful guidance on sewing it up!

This doesn't replace the instructions that come with the pattern, instead Lauren shares her personal hints and tips that she finds useful to help you make a lovely garment.

The video has over 29 minutes of footage, sectioned out with time stamps/chapters for easy reference and navigation. The key construction steps are covered, including working with light weight slippery fabric, adapting the pattern to be sleeveless, how to construct the garment using the burrito method and much more.

Once you have placed your order, the video link will be included in your order confirmation email. The Gilbert Blouse PDF pattern is available directly from the Helen's Closet website and you can make use of our pattern printing service to have it printed on A0 paper (see below).
