LOREA ... the "long-sleeved" addition

The Lorea blouse was a great success last spring. It's a rather simple and quick model to sew, whose charm largely lies in its ruffles. The pattern was designed for warmer weather, so I hadn't considered adding sleeves.

But some time ago, I had a conversation on Instagram with Créazybel (who also has a very lovely Instagram account!). She wanted to sew a Lorea blouse with sleeves... In short, I loved the idea and thought about which sleeves would be most harmonious for the blouse.

I chose to offer slightly gathered, somewhat loose sleeves, tightened at the wrists by elastic slipped into a casing. I really like this new version of the Lorea blouse. I hope you will like it too.

You can sew the blouse as shown here, keeping the ruffles and adding the long sleeves.

For a very simple version, add the sleeves, without the ruffles.

You will see in the step-by-step instructions that accompany the sleeve pattern that the pattern remains very accessible and does not present any particular difficulties.

(I am preparing a tutorial that will help you attach a sleeve with ease or with gathers). As soon as it's done, I will add the link here)

If you already own the Lorea blouse pattern, you should have received the new version of the pattern directly in your inbox. If not, please send me a message and I will forward it to you.

By ordering the pattern from today, you will automatically receive the "long sleeve supplement" with the basic pattern.

The pattern is available in the shop by clicking on this link: LOREA ruffled blouse pattern.

See you very soon for the presentation of the new Autumn-Winter 2022-2023 pattern.
