Sewing Simplicity 9646 - Button up blouse with gathered sleeves

[@sewingroom8625]

I love this video on this blouse pattern. I love the puffy sleeves. What really drew me was the leather hold puncher and how you used it for the darts I hope this helps me now because I have always had problems with my darts, thank you for an easy way to mark the darts on pattern paper

[@greensilk58]

Very, very good tutorial ! Following your lead, my blouse was perfect.

[@grandymommy4531]

Nice. A tailored look without anything too complicated.

[@bridgetjones8339]

Ok finally, got the pattern and some fabric! Excited to do this sew along!

[@bridgetjones8339]

I did it and I love it and I would definitely make another one. Now I have another pattern coming for a wrap dress you did a few months ago! Thank you for leaving these videos up as I slowly progress along❤️🥰

[@acountrygirlsews2508]

I really like that blouse on you! I’m just getting around to watching this! And although I have many blouse patterns, I might not have one as simple as this! Thanks for your time and attention to detail!

[@annecain3301]

Beautiful.What more can one say. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning from you. Thank you very much.

[@RobinEvans-g4c]

I love your videos and the blouse was very nice.😊

[@jnr7265]

Thank you- I’ve used your video as a sew-along. It’s a simple enough make but I found the earlier pattern instructions pretty confusing. Sometimes US pattern instructions seem kind of old-fashioned to me- but your video and instructions were so helpful. Keep it up!

[@arlenemurphy804]

Lovely Marie. Your voice is very relaxing and you make sure you show the problem areas as a closeup. You are a wonderful instructor and seamstress.

[@brendastevens8325]

I absolutely love watching you

[@sharonwilliams1319]

Thank you! I cut this pattern before Thanksgiving and have yet to sew it. Your video was VERY HELPFUL! Again thank you.

[@evangelisthildacarr453]

Very pretty

[@gehanghobrial2449]

Thank you so much ❤ I followed your tutorial and made one for my daughter in law for Christmas, and she loved it 🥰 She chose that pattern not knowing that I’m still beginner and I never done something like that before. I did not want to turn her down, but at the same time I did not want to gift her an ugly shirt. Then I found you, and with your help it came out wonderful. I appreciate your help ❤❤

[@mybucoliclife]

That makes me so happy!!! 😁

[@susanhemion2981]

I love the tip on the stitch witchery

[@aribella6913]

I just look forward to each make. Love your channel

[@suzannewilman7634]

Thanks for a great tutorial. Your finishing in top notch 🐎🌲

[@sueknutson9664]

Love your green pine cone fabric choice and the round collar. Beautiful and looks like a fun make. 🧵🪡

[@jylromain6439]

Wow. That fits you beautifully. Nice job.

[@mercedesdelcastillo8324]

What a lovely blouse. It looks better on you than on the model of the package. The fabric is perfect for Christmas time. Thank you again for getting my Sunday morning to a great start. ❤

[@brendajefferson5984]

Oooh, Marie, I love this pattern and the fabric. What a beautiful blouse and the fit is spot on! Thanks for sharing❤

[@nancynord260]

I really like the blouse. It fits well and is flattering. The color is great on you and those buttons are perfect!

[@barbaraharsch3048]

Great pattern and the material was perfect for it.. Sometime do the one with the shortest sleeves.. It would be great for summer. Really enjoy your videos after one is done I'm watching everyday to see if you have a new one. I've sewed for years but everytime I watch you I learn something new.. Thanks

[@stephaniemendes5287]

I love your shirt!!! It really turned out beautifully (no surprise!) ! I just bought this pattern today at Joanns for $1.99 and looked up your channel as I had seen that you posted the making of it recently. Thank you so much for all of your great tips and tricks for a great result. I’d like to make this top in silk in the near future as I love the sleeves and elegant blousey shape :)

[@nancykluge1738]

Thank you for your video! This was my first time sewing a collar so I was looking for help and this was just what I needed. It’s a great pattern!

[@mybucoliclife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wshawn1028]

Thank you for this video. I wasn't sure about this pattern, but I may pick this up. You look great in it!

[@Bjm521]

Beautiful top! Love the video as always! ❤

[@normacooper6377]

I seldom ever have long nails. My natural ones are just too thin. Also, I can’t stand when they’re very long because dirt always collects under them or I poke myself with them.🙄 That green fabric looks lovely. I didn’t realize pattern sewing directions were/might be changed from year to year. Interesting. Thanks for sharing your helpful thoughts & tips. I was glad to see the back didn’t seem too snug fitting. Looks more comfortable this way. Those buttons look perfect for this project. Congratulations on your fabulous new blouse! 🎊

[@mybucoliclife]

Yes even with the darts they're still plenty of room to move around 😊

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! Lovely blouse!

[@Dranma51]

Beautiful blouse!

[@Kera.S.]

Great pattern to try in all kinds of fabric options. TFS 💙 I think I might try this in linen at some point.

[@kennethiacgilliam]

Hello! Love your top!

[@rennells]

I love it. I like the pattern too I think I actually want to get it I was looking at it and was pondering. And it reminds me of a pirates shirt

[@mybucoliclife]

Yes I thought it reminded me of a puffy shirt like from the old Seinfeld show. 🤣

[@rtblade4]

I love the fabric! I think I want to do one just like yours!

[@marathorne6821]

Wow, it's turned out gorgeously, Marie! I was interested in that pattern, so I was really pleased you featured it in your video. The dark green fabric is beautiful - very "seasonal" - and it suits your colouring perfectly 😍 Enjoy wearing your lovely blouse!

[@theresawagner2642]

I just saw this pattern featured on Sew Essential. I love it! Great job again.🥰

[@susanschultz2355]

Was all set to sew the Aria blouse by Love Notions but when I watched your video I decided to start with this pattern--I already had the fabric. Your tutorial is so thorough and helpful that I will follow it exactly--especially with the stay tape (already have) and the stitch witchery. I saw this pattern featured on Sew Essential and had already bought it when I stumbled across your tutorial. Thank you for your excellent instruction and gentle demeanor!

[@janehammond1322]

It looks lovely on you and seems to be a relatively easy make, especially in cotton. I am tempted to make this when we are into autumn, it’s summer here now.

[@elizabethwilson5349]

So glad you made this video. I have this pattern, and now I have a great see along to follow. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful, and that your holiday season is as fabulous as this top looks on you!🥰 Thanks so much for sharing!

[@dee4174]

I love that fabric. The blouse looks great and fairly sumple to do. Have you tried a bar of soap for marking fabric?

[@mybucoliclife]

I have! A skinny sliver is great on dark fabrics.

[@aleciacope3503]

Hi Marie...I'm sorry if you've already answered this, but would you recommend your steam iron? If so, would you let me know the make & model, please? Thank you!m

[@mybucoliclife]

I'm getting used to my steam iron now. It is a big transition from a regular household iron. Dealing with the heaviness of it, and the extra water hose can be cumbersome. But what I do like is never running out of steam, being able to use tap water because of the filter, and the consistency in the heat and steam. I bought mine from wawak.com. it is the rapid steam iron. Hope that helps

[@dorothyjackson942]

I am working on that pattern now. I’m not sure if I need to do the darts or not.

[@tobielurie4582]

Thank you for your clear explanation. Love this pattern! Do you have the name of the Etsy shop for the stay tape?

[@mybucoliclife]

I have the shop name listed in the description on the video. I hope you can find her because it's a good product

[@sandrahemmings5422]

Which of the many heat erasable pens did you buy? The Amazon link you provided lists so many with varying reviews that I don’t know which ones to choose .

[@mybucoliclife]

I think they are all pretty much the same. I but the big packs with like 50 refills...

[@strgstofsouls]

I am looking for the stay tape Etsy seller in your description and can not locate it. This video is 1yr old as I watch it and I am wondering if you removed that information because it became unavailable?

[@mybucoliclife]

I just tried to find it and now I can't either. I'll be on the look out for an alternative because I am nearly out!
