Marnie recommendation

Loved making this Marnie blouse! It was my first T&B’s pattern and after deliberating which elements to combine I found the instructions and YouTube tutorial really easy to follow.
The Instagram post about decorative stitches nudged me to try my scallop stitch although I wasn’t brave or patient enough to snip around each curve. It looks pretty though.
I chose a super soft cotton lawn to make a floaty summer version omitting the long sleeves (I just narrow hemmed the upper sleeve pieces).
My favourite part is the undulating tucks which are really satisfying to sew. Version 2 is already pinned and waiting to be cut out!
Highly recommend for a confident beginner. Happy Sewing!

Wow, Kirsty, Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your Marnie make. It's so lovely to read that you've enjoyed using our pattern and the other free resources we provide on our blog and social pages. Thank you x

Gorgeous dress

Fantastic pattern. Such a pretty dress and really clear instructions. I have made 2 dresses so far, not bad to say I've had the pattern about a week.

Thank you Sarah, we really appreciated your lovely words. Team Buttons x

Lovely , versatile pattern

Great value for money with the cost of living. Purchased the pdf so can alter the sizes and styles . Pleats a bit tricky to draw out and iron but will have another go

Yay! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. Team Buttons x

Marnie Blouse - the perfect floating blouse

I just love the look of Marnie. My first Marnie is a blouse in a lovely floral cotton lawn. Because of the busy floral pattern I decided to go with a plain front, without tucks and ruffles, but with tucks on the sleeves. I did no alterations to the pattern and made it up during a week. It was so easy to make and I love the result.
It is floaty, but the fit over the shoulders make it just perfect. As a petite person I sometimes feel I drown in these shapes, but I does not feel that I am in this garment. I am already planning to make the dress version with all the drama 😁
