The 1940’s Blouse ~ How to PATTERN DRAFT a BISHOP SLEEVE ~ Pattern Hack Simplicity 8447 ~ Part One

Hello My Lovelies,

Today I’m sharing how to draft Bishop Sleeves using Simplicity 8447 but you could use any long sleeve pattern you have to do this pattern hack! This first video is all about getting the pattern ready and Part Two, where I experiment with traditional Smocking, will be available on Sunday! I'm really looking forward to seeing this blouse all made up ~ I hope it's as good irl as it is in my head!

The lovely vintage looking floral Viscose is from Missy Mop Fabrics who has a lovely selection of sustainably sourced fabrics ~ https://www.missymopfabrics.co.uk/

And you can find the pattern I use here ~ https://www.minerva.com/mp/1013167/si...

You might also enjoy these videos where I hack this simplicity pattern to create my handmade vintage inspired wardrobe ~
