Sateen Blouse

Grandmothers Prize petticoat was made of sateen. Cotton satin, some call this

lovely old-new fabric. It has sheen, it washes easily, wears well, and looks lovely.

It costs more than most cottons, but when you use it economically, as in this

blouse, your puchase will prove a good investment.

To chalk out: Take two waist lengths plus 6 in. Fold wrong side out, with fold

toward you selvages pinned together. Point C on the diagram is halfway between

A and B, D is on selvages directly above C. E is one-half neck measure to left of

C. F is one-fourth neck measure above C. G is 2 in. left of D. Connect G and F for

shoulder line and F and E for neckline. H is one-half armhole measure plus 1 in. to

left of C. I is one-fourth bust measure plus 3 in. above H, and J on selvage directlyabove I. K is at edge straight to left of I. Connect J and K, curving underarm at I as

shown.

Fold front over so that A and B meet. Cut back same as front. If you do not want neck as low in back, make it

distance you desire it below C and connect neckline wih F. If you wish blouse to fit suggly, slant line K-I as nec-

essary to take out excess fullness and make a placket at left underarm seam.

Seam shouulder and underwarm seams. Cut cuffs 5 1/2 in. wide, so that they can turn back, and twice as long as

G to J. Seam cuffs into a tube, turn right side out, press seam open. Place two raw edges of the cuffs to bottom

of sleeves; put them on with true-bias facing. Ready-made bias binding pressed flat may be used. Face neckline,

clipping binding at shoulders to lie flat and crossing it at center-front for a smooth finish. Stitch binding on; turn

it 1/8 in. from edge so that it cannot show. Slip-stitch it into place. Put a narrow hem in botton of blouse.

Please note that this is a vintage pattern. Some terminology and techniques may not be familiar to

you. We have chosen to keep the authenticity of the original pattern intactand therefore have not

update or made changes based on modern design. For example, you might find different widths of

fabrics, types of fabrics, vintage techniques, etc. You are welcome and encouraged to make this pat-

tern your own by using your modern techniques and sense of design to recreate this design. Please

regard these instructions as a starting point and guide. Happy sewing!
