Maison Fauve - Cicadella Blouse Sewing Pattern

The CICADELLA blouse is a pattern imbued with poetry: its volume delicately outlines the bust thanks to the princess seams, while its scooped neckline cuts into the nape and lifts the neck. The long sleeves with worked cuffs are the hallmark of this timeless, feminine design.

The pattern features a very high level of finishing adapted to openwork fabrics, with the option of fully lining the bust, neckline and armhole seams trimmed with bias tape and seam allowances for joining your pieces with French / flat felled seams on the bust and sleeves.

Sizes: 6 - 24

Height: 165cm

Level: Beginner for the short-sleeved or elbow-length version, intermediate for the long-sleeved version. Technical aspects include bias binding, sleeve construction, tear-resistant slit, point cuff construction and gathers.
