What you’ll make
Make the Córdoba wrap blouse, a woven top with a crossover neckline and long ties that wrap around the body to adjust the fit.
Choose long puff sleeves gathered with elastic, long bell sleeves without elastic or short sleeves for warmer weather.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Stabilize curved and bias-cut edges.
- Sew, turn and attach the wrap ties.
- Finish the crossover neckline with a bias-cut strip.
- Ease the sleeve caps into the armholes.
- Join the sleeve and side seams.
- Sew elastic casings for gathered cuffs.
- Finish flared or short sleeves with a hem.
Choosing your fabric
A fluid woven fabric gives the blouse and sleeves more movement. The class sample uses viscose.
A slightly firmer woven fabric will hold a fuller, more structured sleeve shape, while a softer fabric creates a more fluid result.
Make it your own
Add elastic for puff sleeves, leave it out for flared sleeves or make the short-sleeve version. Check the sleeve length before finishing the cuffs and adjust it if needed.
Pair it with Lugo Pants, Yang Pants, the Santorini Skort or Milan Palazzo Pants.
Pattern sizing
The pattern covers grouped sizes 34/36–54/56. Its body chart spans an 86–132 cm bust, 64–110 cm waist and 90–136 cm hips.
The listed blouse length ranges from 43 to 48 cm across the size range.
This easy class covers the wrap finish and three sleeve treatments, with printable A4 and copy-shop A0 pattern files included.
