🌸 Gingham Babydoll Blouse — PDF Sewing Pattern
Women's XS–3XL · Lined yoke · Puff sleeves · Button placket · Instant download
Meet your new everyday blouse: a fitted yoke, a swingy gathered body, puff sleeves that end just below the elbow on a soft elastic cuff, and a little three-button placket at the neck. It's made for gingham — the checks bend into the gathers and draw the shape for you — and it's just as lovely in linen, lawn or chambray.
✔ WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
✔ Fully lined yoke: the neckline and placket are finished in one seam, and the gathers are hidden inside
✔ The placket is built into the yoke and stops neatly at the yoke seam, just like ready-to-wear
✔ Puff sleeves gathered only on top of the shoulder — no bunching under the arm
✔ Slips over the head with the buttons undone, in every size
✔ A step-by-step gingham guide so the checks line up at the placket and side seams
✔ Lengthen/shorten lines on the body and sleeves
