Sewing a PussyBow Blouse from a 1960’s Pattern

After seeing a floral PussyBow blouse under a knitted vest at O Pioneers I was hooked. I knew this had to be my next make to go with my current knitting. Searching through my pattern stash, I found just the pattern I was after with a suitably large bow from the 1960’s. The floral fabric was chosen, a 1970’s gem to pair with 1950’s blue buttons.
I truly enjoyed making this beautiful blouse. Now on to making the trousers and vest to go with it.

It's a very pretty blouse 👚. Looking forward to seeing your tank top and trouser 👖combo. Thanks for the shoulder tip. I may be leaving mine a bit too wide. Will experiment. ❤🎉

So much faster than knitting! Amazing Lisa it's like sitting in a trasfiguration glass at Hogwarts I wish I knew what it all means xxxx

[@bobobun]

[@Dizzyknitsandcurls]

This looks great I’ve made the sew over pussy bow 5 times and I’m working on a knitted vest great minds think alike

[@bobobun]

@@Dizzyknitsandcurls a definite winner of a pattern then Erica. Yes we’re on trend it seems 😆🥳

[@samanthabuckle]

Hi Lisa could I ask where you buy your Vilene from at such a reasonable price please, great idea for making patterns but can’t seem to find it for less than £3.30 per metre. Beautiful beautiful blouse, many thanks Xx

[@janeinmid-wales]

Your blouse fits beautifully and looks wonderful on you. I'm looking forward to seeing it worn with the trousers and vest. Where do you get your interfacing from that you use as tracing paper. This is such a good idea but are you able to see the pattern you are tracing through it and is it difficult to draw on as some interfacings can be toothy.

[@bobobun]

@@janeinmid-wales thanks so much Jane 💕 my local shop sells it precut as 2m rolls. It’s non iron interfacing.
