No Pattern Summer Blouse

Self Draft

Created by Sew Magazine

"Amazingly these gorgeous garments are constructed using only two straight seams, a couple of buttonholes and a handful of rolled seam edges. Using techniques similar to those of traditional kimono garments, the tops are created from a rectangle of fabric, folded in half. Use soft, supple fabrics that will fit your body comfortably and with ease."
