Grainline.
The grainline is important. The arrow on the pattern piece must always be parallel to the selvage to ensure correct placement on the fabric.
Notches.
Remember to cut the small notches according to the markings on the pattern pieces.
Stitch length.
Sew the blouse together with a stitch length of 2.5 (9 stitches per 2 cm).
For topstitching, use a stitch length of 3.
Explanation of symbols in the pattern
In this pattern, different symbols are used to clearly indicate which pieces should be cut in fabric, lining, and interfacing.
There is also a symbol showing which pattern pieces should be placed on the fold of the fabric, as well as notches that help you align the pieces correctly.
Follow the symbols carefully for the best result.

That’s why we sew topstitching…
Topstitching has both a practical and a visual function.
It keeps the seam allowance in place and gives a neat, professional finish.
At the same time, it helps shape the design expression – you can choose thread colour and placement depending on the look you want. Sew close to the edge for a discreet finish or with a little distance for a more striking effect.

Pocket placement
I placed the back pocket approx. 7.5 cm below the waist edge in size 110. Use this as a guideline and adjust the placement so it suits the size you are sewing. The back pocket can be placed wherever you prefer—it’s a design detail you can customise.
