Can’t believe that I sewed this Butterfly Sleeve Blouse in less than 2 hours? from paper sketching to the finished blouse. It looks challenging but the truth is it is easy with only a few steps to follow. If you run through my following sewing pattern and tutorial, you will believe me that it is easy 😉
I had a dream, a dream to make a magazine cover to feature my handmade. Thanks to the studio shooting team to make my dream comes true. I love the styling and photographic done by I.Z from Hair Impression Salon & Academy, who is a professional hair dresser with the passion of photography. Drop by their facebook page and see all those amazing artistic photos I.Z took after the make-over and don’t forget to “like” the page just to say “hello”. Thanks to Hongyu for the wonderful make-up to bring out the essence of the Butterfly Sleeve Blouse, exactly the way I wanted it to be… WILD & FREEDOM!!!! Last but not least, thanks to the cover girl, Joanne.C, my niece who traveled 400km all the way from her home just to help me to model the blouse. She is quite a potential model and resembles the look of Amber Chia, the top model of Malaysia.
Please don’t feel surprise to not seeing the sewing process in this tutorial my usual way. I lost all the images due to an awful mistake with the new camera I just bought. The price for this silly mistakes was… I have to draw out the sewing steps by using Illustrator which took me more painful time to prepare (luckily I still have the photo of the fabric before it was cut). I feel that the presentation and clarity are much more better than those photos I have lost…. well, no pain no gain! I hope you like it.
Hi Joanne! Thank you for this detailed & easy-to-follow tutorial. I made the blouse successfully following your instructions. Keep up the good work & I hope you come up with more tutorials on clothes, e.g. simple dresses, tops, etc..
Hi, thks so much for sharing this. Am a beginner sewer, and will definitely be trying this out. But is it workable if i don’t sew the elastic thread shirring?
You may just gathered the shirring part permanently. Do check the dimension and make sure the gathered part can get through your chest.
Buenas tardes,la blusa me fascina , y se ve facil de hacer,pero amiga cuanto de tela debo usar?.Gracias

Good afternoon, I love the blouse, and is easy to do, but a friend as I use cloth?. Thanks
I am guessing your question, let me know if I didn’t answer it correctly.
Any light weight fabric is a good choice.
I am an absolute beginner when it comes to the sewing machine, but I believe I will save this tutorial for a more experienced day~!
