The Lila Sewing Pattern

and Mini Fitting and Pattern Design Class

 

Lila is a sewing pattern for a woven blouse with a twist. View A features a center front seam with a pretty twist that cleverly forms into a bottom hem band.

Sleeve styles are interchangeable giving you the option for two more style variations using the same pattern pieces.
