Tie Waist Blouse

Puff and Pencil — Tie Waist Blouse

The Tie Waist Blouse from Puff and Pencil is a simple sleeveless blouse pattern, featuring encased ties at the waist and a pull over fit. This is a fairly simple sew, and uses very small fabric meterage - our size M for Amy took just 0.6m of 12oz Patchwork Denim – Indigo. The pattern itself doesn't state a difficulty level, but we would recommend this for a beginner with a little experience. We did feel the instruction manual would benefit from more illustrations to support each step of the instructions, as well as a layplan for the pattern pieces and interfacing instructions. That said, this was a straightforward project, and we love how it turned out in this patchwork denim!
