- I have planned a Casual Vintage Capsule Wardrobe and it is time to start sewing!
Second on the list: Pussy Bow Blouses. Mainly because I like pu... BOWS, I like bows. And I needed some long-sleeved blouses.
The pattern I used:

you are such a delightful presence.. never stop making videos! you could sew literally anything and i would watch
Oh my goodness!!!🙈🤩❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for the amaaaazing compliment! Thank you so much 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this yet but part of the reason for the center front seam is to avoid that little bit of raw edge at the front opening, you can press the seam open on the inside and turn the seam allowance under and instead of having the raw edge you’ll have a nice folded one! And if you’re worried about the seam splitting at that point, you can do a bar tack across it. Otherwise, you can do some buttonhole stitches over the raw edge by hand if you really want to hide/reinforce it.
May I just compliment the sound editing when you show us your nail damage and seamlessly put the ‘it’s not fine’ sound into the music- so good xx
Oh, thank you so much! ❤️ my partner, George, is helping me with sound editing, so all the compliments go to him😊❤️❤️
💅🏻 please be kind to yourself and take it easy with how many things you're making. I cannot imagine how hard it is to film sewing, let alone the time for editing. You totally can take the time to finish things to last, I promise the content won't suffer.
I hope you're doing well. The blouses turned out very cute!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for your empathetic comment❤️ I really appreciate it.
I enjoyed the challenge, but it definitely took a toll on my body 😅 especially the cutting out! Next week, I have only two days off for sewing and editing, so I am a bit at a loss as to what to do. 🙈 I have SO MANY ideas for what I want to sew. I definitely wish I could do it full time, just so I could get all the ideas out of my head!😄
@@Marlenasewing only 2 days!? That's very very fast. I wish you the best of luck. I wish I could help. Also, I work in an office environment. Maybe it's better outside of the United States of America though? 🙃
@@Marlenasewingexactly. So the blouse has a part 1 and 2. It takes what it takes. Mi would rather make less items and everything is how I want it.
Hope Pinky is feeling better soon! My cat is also an outdoors cat and he hurt his paw a few weeks ago- poor thing had to be coned and he would sit facing the wall with his cone pressed up against it in a grump. All better now though and back to hunting all the other animals around our house. My favourite blouse was the polka dot one- the pattern breaks up the block colours nicely, but they all look great!
Oh, it must have been horrible to see your kitty so sad!!😢 Luckily, Pinky is back to his old self! He even took the time to murder his favourite kicker yesterday and played hockey in the corridor at 2 am. with my hair clip 😅😅 thank you so much for your comment ❤️❤️❤️🙏
There's like 500 different names for fibers based on modified cellulose. Rayon, modal, viscose, tencel, lyocel, cupro, acetate, etc etc. They're all basically the same thing, but use different cellulose sources or slightly different processing techniques.
I had no idea!!😃😃 thank you so much for your comment!❤️❤️
If anyone is interested in the history and chemistry of rayon, Kristine Vike did a deep dive around a month ago.
What I was wondering is how it’s staying wrinkle-free. All my viscose/rayon pieces are a mess five seconds after putting them on. I love the feel but hate the wrinkles.
modal (tencel) is the BEST! pajamas, blouses, leggins, shorts, i'll use it for as much as possible, it wears and ages beautifully. i think some of my jean fabrics contain a % of modal too. :) OMG, that polka dot!!! i love the polka dot, red, and pink best. the greens are fabulous on you too! they turned out beautifully! and pinkie, i'm glad you're ok! hello from Minneapolis! 💅🏽
Aww! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching until the end ❤️ 😃❤️ pyjamas made out of modal would feel out of this world!!😍😍😍
glad to see that the capsule wardrobe is coming along nicely and the blouses came out so well! also wishing pinky a speedy recovery
Thank you so much!🙏❤️❤️ Pinky is feeling better already 😃 he was even back to murdering his favourite kicker yesterday 😅
I work in an Office and am pretty much alive and kickin‘. Greeting from Germany
Best wish3for a speedy recovery for Pinky, he is such a sweet boy
Forgive the extra comments but I wanted to suggest that when cutting multiple versions of a pattern you can layer the fabrics (like a stack of pancakes) and pin them together on the corners to give some stability. Cut slowly and with precision and voilà! Three blouses cut in one go.
Blessings darling!
Oh my goodness! I am DEFINITELY doing it next time🤩🤩 I couldn't do it this time because each fabric was a different length. Some were already clipped in places, and so on. But I will definitely do it next time I have a sewing marathon!😃❤️❤️ thank you so much for the genius idea!!
Pinky is so lovely. I hope he feels better. Love the polka dot one!
Thank you so much for your comment!😃❤️ he is feeling much better already!❤️❤️
I love the blouses, they look great!
Extra love for Pinky, I hope he feels better soon.
Aww, thank you so much!! I think the well wishes are really helping him. He even played hockey in the corridor with my hairclip just a few hours ago 😃❤️❤️❤️
You are so accomplished. Be proud of how much you get done!. I'm proud for you.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤️❤️❤️ I really appreciate your words❤️
The blouses all look great, but the polkadot and the darker green are my favourites! I'm very clumsy, so I don't think I could wear blouses like that without ending up with the bows in my food. 😅
Glad that Pinky is recovering! It's always scary when they come home with scratches. It shows that he feels safe with you though, and that he knows you will take care of him. ❤
haha! Oh my, I laughed so hard when I imagined plopping the bows into food, like bunny ears 😂❤️
Thank you so much for your comment! ❤️❤️
I noticed you have $300 shears WOW!! Your poor little kitty, so sorry he had a paw issue. Cats are very independent and they love to go outside. I love you blouses. The green ones make your gorgeous green eyes pop! I think Green also goes well with red hair.
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words!🙏❤️❤️❤️ I am a lucky girl, and those shears were the first gift I've received from my now partner 😃 I didn't even know how much they cost at the time, but I was blown away by his thoughtful gift 🙈
I have some too-they are worth every penny!
That darker green is so nice color on. Me love that type of darker green
Me too!!😃 thank you so much for your comment!🙏❤️❤️❤️
Always in awe of your sewing stamina
Hahaha 😅 thank you! Although, after i cut out all the blouses, my back was like, "You know you're over 30, right??🧐"😂❤️
I really like the dark lilac color blouse! I hope Pinky is doing better! Poor kitty! And I work in an office and am semi alive inside. I really love my coworkers, but i dislike looking at a computer screen and excel sheets all day. It hurts my eyes and my heart. But I have coworkers who LOVE excel. So maybe it depends on your idea of a good time?
Hope Pinky is healed now. The blouses all look lovely!
Thank you so much!😃🙏 Pinky is already back to himself and his old mischievous ways 😅❤️❤️
Oh, what beautiful blouses! ❤👍 You look perfect in the clothes you've made. You are a fabric artist. You always make me smile🤩 Prayers for pinky🙏 poor little guy.😿
Aww. Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️ Pinky is doing better already 😊❤️❤️
Great outcome on the blouses! good job! Modal is lovely, you should also try cupro - super luxurious heavy weight silk like fabric - a dream for a dress. For kitty dramas - do monitor how alert Pinky is. Their wounds can get infected easily especially when inflicted by other cats - if he's lethargic take him to the vet immediately, he may need antibiotics. My cat would get in fights all the time and this would often be the result :/
Cupro (my autocorrect insists that it's "Cupboard" instead) sounds amazing 😍 I hope I'll get my hands on it!!
Pinky is feeling much better today. He is already back to playing hockey in the corridor at 2 am. and kicking his sausage kicker 😅 I think he'll be alright ❤️
The blouses are lovely. Well done. Cutting out takes way more time than you think it will. Don't know why, it's just one of those things.
I hope Pinky is feeling better (without stitches...). RIP nail - sewing sometimes requires blood sacrifices?
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Hello Cathy😃 I'm glad you like how the blouses came out. ❤️ Pinky is luckily feeling much better already 😃 he even took the time to murder his favourite kicker yesterday! He kicked it without any sign of pain 😊
Thank you so much for your comment, Cathy. It's really nice to see you again 😊❤️❤️
I, too, broke a nail working on a sewing project this weekend 💅🏾
Oh noooo! Let's unite in our modern tragedy! I honestly feel like I lost half a finger😅
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! ❤️
The blouses look great! I hope your baby feels better soon ❤
Thank you so much! 🙏 he is feeling much better already 😃❤️❤️❤️
Love all of them! I think I have also heard people call that style of blouse a secretary blouse? I have several, they make me feel a little fancy. For the raw edge problem, I am wondering if you could cut a very small upside down V right at the center point and then fold it down and secure with a small stitch? Not sure, I can picture it in my head but without seeing the pattern I don’t know if it would work. Glad Pinky is feeling better and great job on another video!
Thank you so much for your comment 😃❤️❤️ Secretary blouse fits this style SO much better! I instantly felt a little fancy too😅 Pinky is doing much better already. Thank goodness ❤️
Poor little Pinky! Hope he feels better soon 💕 I love all your blouses! This series is so inspiring 🤩
oh, thank you so so much! Pinky is feeling much better already! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the kiss counter! Pinky seems like such a sweet kitty. It’s sad that he got hurt but I’m sending love and well wishes for his speedy recovery
BTW, I really liked the two darker shades the best, but they all looked great!
Thank you so much for your well wishes! They definitely worked their magic, because Pinky is back to his old self already!
Thank you for your kind comment❤️❤️❤️❤️
Get well soon Pinky! Love them all, I liked the darker purple one best. 💛💜
Aww, thank you so much! I will tell Pinky he got well wishes from you ❤️ he is feeling much better already!❤️❤️❤️
Ohh poor Pinky!! Glad he is feeling better now!! 🐾 The blouses are great!! Can't choose they are all beautiful! Thank you and Greetings 👋
Thank you so much! Pinky is feeling better! He is actually kicking his toy while I am writing this 😅❤️ little rascal is back to his old self ❤️
I’m relieved that Pinky is feeling better. I don’t sew so I’m mostly here for him. Sorry.
Haha! Pinky does have the "it" factor, so I totally understand! 😂❤️❤️❤️ so nice to see you again, Richard!
you've nailed it^^ 💅 i love the polka dot one! hope your lil warrior fell better!
haha! Love the little pun! Pinky is indeed feeling better already!
Thank you so much for your comment! ❤️❤️
Love modal too! Your blouse collection is top drawer! Great video!❤
Aww, thank you so much! "Top drawer" goes right to the top of my favourite sayings in English!😂 thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
Aw good wishes for Pinky!
Thank you so much! I will give him an extra cuddle and say it's from you 😃❤️❤️❤️
Super, jaka super energia od Ciebie bije i pomysły piękne i Ty jest cudowna❤❤❤
Dziękuję mamuś❤️❤️❤️❤️
The algorithm working as it should 👏 I may even get round to making this blouse as I have the pattern languishing in my downloads folder (where at least it is only creating digital clutter).
Aww, thank you so much for your comment!😃❤️ I hope you make your blouse too, because they really are comfy😃🤩
Since I'm interested in the environmental aspect of clothing for years I heared of modal and knew it was a better alternative than polyester but hadn't exactly in mind that it was better than cotton, too, since it isn't used as often as other fabrics. Another nice fabric is viscose (Lenzing Ecovero especially since they reuse the chemicals to fabricate the material over and over again instead of throwing it out) but it can sometimes show "cracks" after washing, depends on the ratio of viscose and other fibres I guess. If you're interested in the environmental aspect of fabrics Gittemary Johnson did an impact video on her channel (or several) that give an good overview on that topic.
I think the blouses suit you really well, I directly fell for the dark green color, but the light pink one is a near contender :) Thank you for sharing and a speedy recovery for pinky!
Thank you so much for your interesting comment and well wishes for Pinky.❤️ He is already feeling better!
I will check out Gittemary Johnson. Thank you for the recommendation!
:( Poor Pinky. I'm sending him my loves. He gives off the vibes of a wise old wizard. Also, the fact that you've sewn 5 beautiful blouses while my 2 cut out pants are still begging me to sew them while I sit and ponder my next make is a feat. January is nigh over and while I've sewn 5 items this month and none of them happen to be from my "need to make" list is alarming lol.
sidenote: I hope you blow up fast, and you're able to monetize your content, because I'd love to see you try and sew up some garments from the Charm Patterns catalogue, perhaps even their patreon if you haven't already heard of that pattern brand! I think it'll fall right in your wheel house.
hahaha! Oh my goodness, you're so right! He does hold himself like he knows more than he lets on! Wise Old Wizard😂 I love it!❤️❤️❤️
I would have never managed to sew so many blouses without reading comments and seeing that some people are excited to see this capsule wardrobe done! 🤯🤩 When I started this channel, I thought it would be my mom and her fb friends half-watching these videos, so every single new comment or subscriber is an exciting surprise 😅
I've seen some of the Charm patterns (so lovely!!!) and I am going to use half of one of them for a surprise make next week!
I will keep my fingers crossed for your sewing projects (especially the pants!)❤️
Thank you so much for both of your comments ❤️❤️❤️
All the blouses turned out really well :) I hope your cat gets better soon.
Thank you so much! 🙏😊 Pinky is back to his old self already! 😀❤️
Those blouses look great with the pants!!! And you look great in them!!!
Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked them😃❤️❤️❤️
Tenderness to both you and Pinky.
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️🙏 I really appreciate it! Pinky is feeling much better already ❤️
Poor Pinky. ☹️ It’s awful when they are not ok and feeling bad.
The blouses turned out pretty nice. ☺️ Hard to chose which one is my favorite… Maybe the one with the Polka dots. Or the light green one. Or lilac… 😅
Thank you so much for your comment❤️ Pinky is back to playing and causing mischief, so I think he is ok! 😀
Hahaha, I feel the same way about picking my favourite blouse! 😅❤️
For the issue with the fraying section at the point of the collar, you can sandwich a tiny bit of bias binding between (the bottom layer of the collar + the shirt fabric) and (the top layer of the collar) so that the binding is bridging the gap between the two ends of the collar and then it's easy to fold the binding into the inside when you fold the top layer of the collar in to finish. It's hard to explain in words sorry! You can also get the two ends of the collar together as close as possible (you'll have to clip the shirt fabric right at the point of the V neck up to the stitching line) and then tightly zigzag over the teeny tiny bit that is weakened by the snip.
Very good tips!!! Thank you so much 😃❤️❤️❤️🙏
I oczywiście trzymam kciuki za pinkiego
In the original vintage (Pussybow) blouses there was a built in facing to prevent fraying, & the blouse would button up the front. But overall, your versions came out very pretty. 🙌
I hope I can get my hands on some original pattern in the future! A blouse with buttons at the front would look lovely! This version is modernised, and that doesn't always mean it's prettier 😅 Thank you so much for your comment! A pleasure, as always 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Nice video, love your style, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment ❤️❤️❤️😊
These look so great! And I really hope youre cat is ok. I have 4 and I get so worried when they get into fights. Even if they seem fine.
Thank you so much for your comment!❤️❤️❤️ Pinky is already back to his mischievous ways!😅 he's a tough little man ❤️
I think you look great in the green blouses. I hope Pinky is feeling better.
Thank you so much! I loved them too! Maybe the darker green will be nicer for autumn though?
@@Marlenasewing oh yes, I agree, the dark green will be perfect in the fall.
Great job, they look lovely.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️😊
You did amazing with the blouses they all look beautiful on you! I love your content! Ive subscribed! Hope Pinky is better now!? ❤
Aww, hello!😃❤️ welcome to our sewing gang! I'm glad you found us😊❤️❤️ Pinky is all better now! It's incredible how fast cats heal🤩
I work in an office and can confidently say that I am dead inside 😂
I was just waiting for this comment😂❤️ that's all the motivation I needed to stop applying to office positions 😂
Nicely done!
Thank you so much❤️! Cheers!🥳
The blouses look awesome, and kudos to you for making so many in such a short time! I have the same issue of a tiny bit of raw edge on the necktie being left outside with another p*ssy bow blouse pattern as well, its really annoying. Hope Pinky is doing better soon! I also have an outdoor cat (she was one already before she decided moving into our home) and last year she came home from a fight with a bleeding eye which was horrible (but thankfully healed really fast), so I feel you. Get well soon, Pinky! And I want to remark that your editing and sound it top notch as well 😊
Thank you so much for your comment 🙏❤️❤️ I really appreciate it!
Must have been HORRIFYING to see your kitty with a bleeding eye! I'm so glad these little rascals heal so fast😃 Pinky already acts like nothing happened 😂❤️
They are so cute! And i hope pinky feels better soon
Thank you so much! He feels better already!❤️❤️❤️
Hope Pinky is completely ok now 🤞🏻😞
You look great 💗 The blouses are really cute and lovely, my favorite one is the pink polka dot one💖.
💅🏻 RIP
Hello! 😃❤️ thank you so much for your kind words!❤️ Pinky is doing much better! He even played hockey in the corridor with my hairclip at 2 am😅 he doesn't seem to be in pain, even when kicking his toys 😃 ❤️
So good to hear 💕@@Marlenasewing
I love them they all look amazing, great job. I hope your cat gets well very very soon. Kind regard, Anna
Thank you so much, Anna❤️❤️❤️❤️ Pinky is doing much better already! If I didn't see him bleeding that one day, I would have had no idea that something had happened to him! 💔
@@Marlenasewing
What great news I am very glad to hear that. Kind regard, Anna
Modal is a newer type of rayon. You also can put a very ligh touch of Fray Check on the blouse openings to prevent fraying. Its a seam sealant. Just be careful about using too much. A drop goes a long way. You could also just lightly hand stitch to reinforce it.
I hope that Binky feels better soon. I had a cat that had to fight with other cats and kill other animals. We jokingly called Elwood, the serial killer. Now he lives with my daughter and he sneaks out really fast sometimes. He refuses to accept being an elder cat at 15 yrs.
Sewing takes a while as I tend to add steps to whatever garment I'm making. Also depends on if Sabrina is sitting on my lap as I sew. She has grown a lot since I got her tha there is a room issue. Sometimes she sits on one machine as I sew and hops onto the other when I switch machines.
I'm lucky in that Pepper is scare of going outside. Sabrina looks outside but hates snow. Though if she were to see a cow outside the apartment window, she would want to go outside and take it down for her dinner. She loves beef.
Your blouses could work for a more formal work environment. When I was working, I worked at hotels and had to wear professional clothes. Any job in a hotel is running like crazy for 8-12 hours. At least that is in America. I hope to go back to cooking at the soup kitchen. Pay isn't much but less crazy and the clients appreciate me.
Oh, I LOVED the sories of Sabrina and Pepper❤️ it sounds like the two could have their own sitcom!😂 how sweet is it that Sabrina sits on your sewing machine😍😍😍
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️ I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can go back to your work of choice. Stressful environments are really horrible for health!💔
Darling! Kisses to you and Pinky!
All will be well. Big hugs,
A
Awww, thank you so much! I will give Pinky an extra kiss from you ❤️❤️❤️ sending you a big hug too!!❤️❤️
💅
Thank you so much for watching!🤗
💅🏻
Thank you so much for watching until the very end!!😃❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where are the turban and Lilla My hoodie from , they're lovely!
I’m sorry about Pinky! I know it’s been a while now probably since it was filmed. How is he? Oh also, 5 blouses in 17 hours is amazing! It would take me probably 17 to figure out one.
Hello! 😃 thank you so much for your kind comment! Pinky is MUCH better. He is back to play and being his usual self. However, I keep finding dried flakes of blood and healing scratches all over him, so he had a proper fight this time😳 thank goodness cats are so resistant! Thank you again for your comment ❤️ and let me know if you end up making a blouse for yourself!😃❤️
I was wondering, what are your nails? They look great! Get well soon, Pinky
I use kind of a uv nail polish from a company called Semilac (honestly recommended thier products 👌). This time, I had a rubber base coat on from a different company. since I lost a nail in battle, I'm not sure if they are as durable as my usual polish, so I won't "name and shame" them😅
I ❤ your oodie…where is this one from, or did you make it ?
Thank you so much, Sharon! Happy hoodie was a gift, so I am not sure where it's from. I just know it's called a Happy Hoodie, so maybe that's the company name you could Google?😃❤️ thank you for your comment!❤️❤️
What do you do for work???
Maybe take Pinky to the vet if you notice the situation stays the same? I hope he’s okay!
Thank you so much for your comment ❤️❤️❤️ Pinky is luckily feeling better already. He even played with his favourite kicker yesterday!😃 are those ferrets on your picture?😍
@@Marlenasewing Glad he’s playing again!! 💗 Yes, they’re ferrets! It’s a picture I found on pinterest haha
💅 I think I have "a million" comments this time, so I am going to split them. But that's good for the algorithm right? Right?
The Closet Historian has also just made a video about a Pussy Bow Blouse. Their solution is small strips of bias on the ends not caught by the bow-strip
Poor Pinky. I have 3 outdoor cats, so I know the feeling.
One is also a former semi-feral, and he is named Houdini for good reasons.
A vet once told me that cats have very stretchy skin that heals fast, which is good with all the small scratches they get all the time. But that also means there is a risk of bacteria getting stuck underneath. So keep an eye on him and touch the paw to make sure it is not too hot or tender (sign of infection)
Wow I am amazed at your speedy sewing skills.
I like the light green, because I think it compliments your skin and hair really well.
Oh my goodness!!😃 thank you so much for all your comments, Marie!!❤️❤️
I will check out the video you mentioned 😀 bias tape is definitely the best solution here. If I were to sew a blouse like this again, I would definitely put more emphasis on quality rather than speed. But... it's done, and they're wearable, so I'll try not to think about it😅🙈
Thank you so much for your cat related tips!😃 I will definitely go feel his paw, just to be sure! He was playing with his kicker yesterday without any sign of pain, so I think he'll be alright ❤️
Also, Houdini is such an awesome name for a cat!! Hahaha😂❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it and enjoyed reading all your comments 😃❤️
❤🎉🗯
🙏😃❤️❤️❤️
Nice blouses - my favorit on you is the pistacio.
ClosetHistorian has just released sewing a pussiebow blouse. She basicly finishes the seam all the way into the seamallowence of the coller and let it overlap a litle bit.
You're the second person mentioning that video😃 I have to check it out!!😃😃❤️
TheClosetHistorian does make it for a button-up front, but it can be applyed to a v-neck to. You just hem the very bottom of the V instead.
💅
Thank you so much for watching the whole video!!😃😃❤️❤️
