ABOUT THE GARNET PATTERN
Garnet is a blouse designed for woven fabrics featuring a square neckline and dramatic gathered sleeves. Garnet can be sewn with a single fabric, or with two contrasting fabrics (one for the yoke and cuffs, and one for the body). Choose from two sleeve finishing options – separate cuffs or elastic cuffs – and add optional wide tucks to the sleeves and hem for a fun structural detail if you like, or skip the tucks for a simpler project.
Garnet is designed as a sibling pattern to Ruby so you can mix and match the two patterns for even more options. Garnet’s sleeve can be added to Ruby, or swap Ruby’s yoke for Garnet’s if you want a rounded neckline paired with Garnet’s voluminous sleeves and body.
Garnet is a great project for the confident beginner sewist who is ready to add some skills and variety to their garment-sewing repertoire. Garnet’s fun and playful design is perfect for showing off two coordinating prints, or showcasing a favorite solid fabric with tuck details.
This sewing pattern is available in digital format.
