From Sew Over It:
The Ella Blouse (previously known as the Wrap Blouse!) is the perfect little companion to any outfit. It looks great worn over a dress as a summer cover-up, or on its own paired with a high-waist. Made in a plain fabric Ella is smart and chic for the office, whereas in a patterned fabric she shines as a cute little going-out number.
The Ella Blouse is an adorable waist-length top which wraps across the front and secures in place with long ties. The side seams gently pleat into the tie at the waist for a flattering fit, while the 3/4 length kimono sleeves elegantly add interest. It is beautifully finished on the inside with facings. The Ella Blouse is the perfect project for beginner, intermediate and advanced dressmakers alike – a versatile wardrobe piece that is both simple yet interesting to sew.
Sewing Level
The Ella Blouse sewing pattern is perfect for advanced beginner sewers onwards. With fairly simple construction, the difficulty comes mostly in working with lightweight, drapey fabrics, so we recommend you have some experience of sewing these. With its super simple design, our Silk Cami pattern is a great place to start. As it’s a wrap style blouse, Ella is nice and easy to fit.
