spring blouse pattern

free from crafthabit.com This project is a spring blouse pattern based on the infinity dress pattern I did a while back. The whole pattern consists of four pieces, a quarter circle skirt, two front bust pieces and the back piece. Materials Needed:

1 1/2 Yards Knit Fabric Thread Pattern Pieces: Quater circle piece (cut one on fold) Front straps (cut two on fold) Back (cut one)

Seam allowance is not included. Hemming is not necessary if the pieces are cut smoothly enough. The first thing you need to do is determine the diameter of your waist. Just think back to Jr. High math class, and if you still cant remember Google can help you out. Diameter = circumference (your waist measurement)/ 3.14. So my waist measurement is 30/3.14= 9.55. The other measurements youll need are your shoulder width and torso height.

Step 1: First start by creating the circle top. Attach a piece of yarn or string to a screw in a block of wood. The string should be your circumference of your waist. Draw a curved line to create a quarter circle. To create the bottom hem measurement on the circle top cut a piece of string that equals your circumference measurement plus your torso height. Draw a second curved line to finish the quarter circle pattern piece. Cut one-quarter circle piece on the fold.

Step 2: Cut two front strap 10x 13 pieces on the fold. Cut one back piece.

Step 3: Sew together the short side of the circle piece, right sides facing. Pin the back piece to the circle piece, lining up with the side hems and sew right sides facing. Step 4: Pin the front strap pieces with a small overlap with each other and the back piece.

Step 5: Sew together front straps and back pieces using a zigzag stitch for stretch. Done!
