Why I love This Pick

I knew that I had to feature the Aims Blouse the second I saw it featured on Seamwork’s Instagram. I love the simple, yet romantic design. The yoke and gathers are classic and modern. The oversized fit and baby hem would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe. I could imagine wearing it tucked into my favorite jeans or untucked with my Zamora skirt.

This intermediate-level sewing pattern can be made with such a variety of fabrics, which makes it so easy to dress it up or down. Seamwork also has an expansion to this pattern where you can add a ruffle to the collar to make this blouse a little more cottagecore!
