I love wearing tops, shirts and blouses with trousers and jeans and have managed to build up quite a selection of different styles of the years using my favourite sewing patterns. I often get asked about the patterns I use so in the post I wanted to share a round up of my top most worn ones.
If you are thinking of making a shirt or blouse this summer then I hope it helps to inspire your next project! It's a fun and satisfying garment to make, and once you find a style and pattern that you like, it's easily to get different looks and effects by using different types of fabric with the same pattern, or my making some simple adaptions and customisations.
Here me chat through them all in this video, or read the blog linked below for pictures and links to the patterns I've used and suggested fabrics!

Really find this useful. Seeing the patterns made up and being worn in the different fabrics with your explanations is very helpful. Thanks.

The first garment that I made that I actually wore was when I was 13. I made a jumper and really wore that a lot. I was a teen during the 70s and the wool skirt/ matching cardigan with blouse combo was all the rage. I used my babysitting money to buy wool for skirts and cotton prints for blouses that I matched to store bought sweaters. I sewed to stretch my money but also for the sense of accomplishment I got. My sewing journey has waxed and waned I spent many years sewing for my 3 daughters. I think the current environment for sewing is so exciting. The whole world is accessible to us for obtaining beautiful fabrics and unique patterns, I just received a beautiful cotton block print from India.

I've noticed lately that several pattern companies are only using like a hand drawn outline/picture of their garment, on the pattern envelopes. I don't even look at them any more. I'm a visual person and need to see fabrics, colors, etc that look best with the pattern. Your videos are always informative, Lauren, but I think this is probably my favorite of them all. Thanks for giving us a peek into your closet and a visual of performance characteristics of different fabrics using the same pattern.

Thank you so much for making this video! It is really helpful to see various patterns made up in different fabrics and to hear about the different tweaks you've made to the patterns in your iterative versions. Also super helpful to hear how the fit is once the patterns are made up. I'm so glad I discovered your channel, will be watching every video from now on!

Love this video and your woven top one. Please do a dress version! I am prepared to have snacks on hand if it’s going to be long 😂

I enjoyed seeing your take on those patterns. I kind of shy away of patterns when the sewist has made it up in "louder" fabric. Your fabric choices were very nice.
