How to sew Léonie?

Introducing Léonie, the extravagant yet extra-easy blouse. Fleur bleue, she'll make you feel like you're in a Jane Austen novel. With its puffed sleeves ending in an elasticated cuff, it's very comfortable, and on the front it's decorated with a tie to be tied on the chest. 

We opted for a viscose coupon with a jacquard to give the fabric a little relief, in a bright pink color to brighten up winter days. But this model will remain a very good base for a white blouse, in cotton poplin, all kinds of cotton, broderie anglaise and why not an embroidered brocante bed sheet? For a dressier look, opt for a fabric with a bit of sheen: viscose jacquard, satin or patterned polyester. For a natural look, a linen version is perfect. And if you want to lighten it up for summer, remove the sleeves! Once you've made it, chances are it'll become a staple in your closet, ready to be adapted in a multitude of ways.

For the tie, you can choose a lace ribbon, grosgrain or velvet, or even if you don't like the lace-up look of the neckline, skip the buttonholes on the placket.

To sew Léonie, you'll need :
-2m fabric in 140cm width or 2m80 fabric in 110cm width,
-3cm wide elastic (2x your wrist circumference +6cm)
-a little fusible webbing,
1m of 7mm-wide ribbon.
