Hello beautiful hivers and needleworkers, I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season wherever you are. I'm so glad to finally have a bit of breathable space to share with you one of the sewing projects that got me busy and away from Hive for a while.

You all know we can't have the christmas and new year celebration without making ew outfits for our kids and even ourselves, it's more like a tradition, I don't know who started this tradition, and I definitely don't see it stopping soon, afterall, the festive season is all about being happy and thankful for a good year, and surviving all the odds and more importantly, grateful for life.

For my daughter's Christmas outfit this year, I decided to ditch making a ball dress, which was usually their outfit. This time, I made them a two-piece outfit, made out of a shiny mikado fabric for the blouse, and aso-oke fabric for the palazzo trousers.

Today's post is going to be about the blouse-making process, since it's easy to make and can be worn by ladies of all ages, so feel free to recreate yours, following the easy steps I will provide.

Cutting And Sewing Process

I cut out the back pattern first, using a kimono / cut together sleeve basic blouse pattern

Then I also cut out the front pattern, making a V-shape neckline that extends and cut through to the hem of the blouse.

Continuing, I joined the front and back patterns on the sides

I also folded and hemmed the sleeves

Next, I cut out this strip in a fold of 2 inches, marked out the center, and created a space of about eleven inches down, which is wide enough for their head to pass through
