This is my version of vintage Butterick 9206 – a tie or bow-necked blouse pattern from the 1950’s.
I used a very drapey fabric with a tiny gingham print and it was pretty easy to sew after I’d graded it down a size.
It’s turned out a little less obviously vintage looking than I was hoping – I think the drapey fabric gives it a more modern edge. But that’s fine, it means I can pair it with lots of items my wardrobe: denim capris, wide legged trousers or even shorts for the summer. More photos and chat on my blog – Handmade Jane. x
I love it! I think it’s versatile, it’ll look vintage with other vintage clothes, and modern with modern clothes.
Yey, bow tie blouse!!! I’m addicted to bow details especially on blouses. Very cute blouse.
gorgeous!! I can always rely on your sewing projects to be brilliant 🙂
