Tia Blouse Sewing Pattern
A woven tee is one of those underrated pieces in one’s wardrobe that can quickly become a go-to piece. Tia can be as noticeable as you choose to make it! Go with View A in a classic neutral shade for an essential basic tee, or make View B in a bold statement fabric for a tee that turns heads! View A is a great staple layering piece, whilst view B gives you a bit of understated drama with its gathered, puff (but not *too* puffed) sleeves and elegant cuffs.

Sizing
This pattern is available in our 6-20 and 16-30 size ranges. Our size ranges are based on different body proportions and bust cup sizes, so if you fall into sizes 16-20, do compare the body measurements in each size range to find the best match for your measurements. Both size ranges are drafted for the same height of 5’6″ / 167cm.
Choose the pattern size for which the Bust measurement in the table is closest to your full bust measurement, then grade up or down between sizes to suit your waist and hip measurements.
PDF Sewing patterns
PDF sewing patterns are a convenient alternative to more traditional paper patterns. When you purchase a PDF file, you will be given access to download a set of PDF files including an instructions booklet and the pattern files. You can print the files at home, on A4 or US Letter sized paper, or you can send the Copyshop/A0 files to a printer (a “copyshop”). The printer will print out the files on large sheets and post them to you.
The pattern files are nested, so you can easily grade between sizes, and layered, so you can choose which size(s) you want to print.

I took this photo at half past midnight after a evening out so I’m looking a little creased and tired . This is the Tia Blouse from Michelle Sews Patterns. I love the big sleeves and I even did buttonholes on the deep 3 button cuffs. The buttonholes are acceptable but could be better but as I already have another cut out I will be getting some more practice.

PHEW I did it!!! I'm so happy I was able to make something in time for the #BHMPatternDesigners (BHM=Black History Month) challenge! It's been a while since I actually made something for a challenge and this one was important to me but I didn't know if I'd be able to get anything done in time due to multiple other things I had going on this month. Anyhow, I had a great time discovering new Black pattern designers when researching pattern designers for this challenge (thanks for the list, sewnaturaldane!) and ended up using a pattern from michellesews_patterns. I doubled down on this challenge by pairing it with fabric from my stash designed by a Black textile designer, iamrashidacolemanhale. That’s right!! I'm in it to win it!
I am delighted with the way this turned out. As is often the case with my makes, I was working with a limited amount of fabric and had to make some compromises but in the end I like how they made this garment unique. The sleeves are a little bit shorter and thus less billowy and have smaller cuffs than the pattern calls for. You can also see some of the selvedges at the end of the sleeves– I used every bit of fabric I could. I am planning to wear this to the office and large sleeves get in the way of what I do so this actually works for me. I didn't have enough fabric for a full back piece so I added some gray fabric to compensate and I quite like how it frames the back. I did my usual adjustments of lowering the armhole and adjusting the sleeve. I also added almost 1" in length to it. I used 3 ragtag colorful buttons and I love how they all coordinate. Thank you to the challenge ambassadors divinedita crystalsewsandstuff and crumpetsteaandsewing and to host sewnaturaldane!!

We focus on quality
The Tia Blouse was drafted and graded by professional pattern makers and graders. Our two size ranges were drafted and graded from completely separate ‘base’ sizes.
Our patterns are fit tested on fit models in the base size for each size range before being graded to other sizes – this picture was taken at our first fitting of the Tia blouse!
The pattern and instructions were reviewed and edited by a specialist technical editor who aims to ensure that the instructions are as clear as possible and there aren’t any grading oddities.
