Sewing Level
The Josephine Blouse is an Intermediate wrap blouse sewing pattern.
Fabric Suggestions
We recommend lightweight woven fabrics with lots of drape. Think rayon challis, viscose, charmeuse, sandwashed silk and crepe de chine. If you are making version 1, you’ll need to make sure that your fabric presses well to hold the scallop shape.
Sizing & Fabric Requirements
The Josephine Blouse is sized between UK sizes 6-30 and is split into two different blocks: sizes 6-20 (B cup) and sizes 18-30 (D cup). See the size charts (last 4 images above) for details on fabric requirements.
Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
What will I receive?
The downloadable pattern file contains:
- printable pattern (in both tiled print-at-home and copyshop format) in all sizes
- fully-illustrated printable instruction booklet
The Josephine Blouse is either 40 A4/US letter pages or 2 A0 copyshop page (sizes 6-20), or 49 A4 pages, 50 US letter pages, or 2 A0 copyshop pages (size 18-30).
If you purchase the PDF Pattern + Copyshop Printing option, you will also receive your pattern printed on A0 paper in the post. Find out more about our PDF Printing Service here.
So what is a PDF pattern?
A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper. Alternatively you can choose to have the copyshop files printed on large A0 paper, and posted to you at home. If you’re using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% scale (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.

Layered PDF pattern
The Josephine Blouse PDF pattern files are layered, meaning you can choose to print only the size(s) you need when printing at home. Find out more here.
