Sew your retro nursing blouse: fabric and supplies
Fabric
Fabric and supplies for sewing your Cécile blouse
To show off the flowing shape and pretty retro details of the Cécile blouse, choose lightweight to medium-weight fabrics such as:
- viscose
- double gauze
- soft poplin
- cotton voile
- lightweight crepe
Your choice of fabric will give your blouse a different look: more romantic in cotton voile, more retro in poplin, or beautifully fluid in viscose.
For a comfortable blouse that's lovely to wear every day, choose a soft fabric with a beautiful drape.
Fabric requirements for fabric 140 cm (55.1 in) wide:
Sizes 34–44: 165 cm (65 in).
Sizes 46–54: 330 cm (130 in).
Supplies
- 1 metre (39.4 in) of 4 cm (1.6 in)-wide bias binding
- 4 or 6 8 mm Prym-style snap fasteners (4 for sizes 34–44 / 6 for sizes 46–54)
Be careful not to use snap fasteners that are too large: they could distort the chest pockets and make the openings more visible under the blouse.
- 25 cm (9.8 in) of cotton twill tape
- 35 cm (13.8 in) of fusible interfacing suitable for your chosen collar fabric (lightweight interfacing for fine fabrics, medium-weight for thicker fabrics).
