*** This pattern is a part of our Zero Waste Collection. Check out the rest of the collection here ***  

The Zero Waste Basic Blouse is a simple dolman blouse with short sleeves and a back neckline zipper in children's sizes 2 to 14. This pattern can be made from a woven fabric or a stable (not too stretchy) knit fabric.

  • Easy to sew with step-by-step instructions with pictures and video.
  • The whole thing is made from a simple rectangle of fabric with no leftovers.
  • Instructions also included to help you with fit.

Sizes: The pattern starts at a size 2 and goes up to a size 14 (kids sizing).

File types: A4/Letter size PDF (for home printers), A0 size PDF (for printshops), and a projector file too.

Difficulty: Mid Level Skills (This is classed as Mid Level Skills because of the zip, but there are step by step instructions, it is the perfect zip practice project).

All the patterns in the Zero Waste Collection are cut from a single rectangular piece (or pieces if there is a lining) of fabric with no waste. This leaves you with only usable rectangular remnants the size of which depends the size of the pattern and the width of the original fabric.

We know that this type of pattern cutting is not a 'fix all' for waste in the sewing world, but it is our step in the right direction and we really hope you enjoy the patterns as much as we do.
