Catherine Blouse PDF pattern
£10.00
The Catherine blouse is an elegant and versatile take on the classic tie blouse. Its detachable tie can be worn tied in a number of ways, or not at all, and as a sleeveless blouse it is great both for layering and in warmer weather. ** This product is a PDF printable sewing pattern and not the physical garment shown.**
Features
- Sleeveless, collared blouse
- Bias bound armscyes and neckline
- Separate tie
- Centre back neckline opening, fastened with hook and eye
Fabric & notions
I’d recommend a medium/blouse weight crepe, soft cotton, linen, rayon, viscose, silk and other drapey fabrics.
You’ll need:
- Bias binding for the neckline and armscyes (approx 1.5m and with a folded width of approximately ½” – ¾”).
- A small hook and eye set for the neckline closure (or you could sew a thread chain and button if you prefer).
Fabric requirements
- Main fabric: 1.25 m (all sizes)
- Lightweight fusible interfacing (0.5m) – optional, depending on your fabric choice and how firm you want your collar to look. Omit the interfacing for a softer collar look.

The pattern testers said…
“Beautiful. Nice idea with the collar, and great fit!”
“I even got the collar right ;)”
“The fit throughout the body is perfect! It is very flattering while not being too tight. For me this is the perfect amount of ease in a blouse like that.”
“I LOVE THE TIE!”
“Fit wise it’s perfect – I love my blouses to fit fairly closely, but not too tight, obviously. I’m very happy.”

orangesews made another #msp_catherine blouse, this time with an accent fabric and I am 100% here for it! 😍
This Catherine blouse looks fabulous in red! #msp_catherine reposted with kind permission from orangesews
The Catherine blouse looks great worn together with the Agnes skirt. sleepless_in_bavaria used a contrast fabric for the tie of her #msp_catherine top, and the dusky pink shade of her msp_agnes is the stuff of spring wardrobe dreams.
The Catherine blouse is an elegant and versatile take on the classic tie blouse. Its detachable tie can be worn tied in a number of ways, or not at all, and as a sleeveless blouse it is great both for layering and in warmer weather. I love to wear mine under a lightweight crew neck jumper – you get the crisp contrast collar without the imprint of a row of buttons down the centre front like you would with a shirt underneath, and it’s sleeveless so it’s a little cooler!
How will you wear yours? (The Catherine blouse was originally released under the Pearson and Pope sewing pattern brand so you may also see it tagged as #pp_catherine)
