Full of romance, the Freia Blouse is a gorgeously floaty lightweight top, with on-trend ruffles at the neckline and sleeve hems. The blouse gathers around the neckline into a pretty ruffle collar and is finished with a rouleau tie, while the set-in sleeves gather with elastic. Choose from a cute short puff sleeve, or an elegant full length one. The bodice front (and optionally back) are lined for modesty, with the sleeves kept sheer for a delicate mix of textures. Shaped with gathers rather than darts, Freia makes for a comfortable, easy fit. Designed to be sewn in lightweight drapey fabrics, this blouse makes a nice challenge for an intermediate sewer looking to grow their skills with an interesting project. The pattern includes instructions for French seams for an impeccable finish. See what other people have been making in the Freia Blouse Gallery and on Instagram using hashtag #soifreiablouse
