Features of the pattern

Design and style

When I founded my company, Ose Patterns, I didn't want to offer a blouse as my first product… because I don't wear any 🤷🏻‍♀️ ! So I thought about a deisgn that would change my mind. This pattern is DELANO !

• An oversized fit with for comfort. My bust measurement is 88 cm and the ease is +37 cm, which makes DELANO a comfortable design.
• A wide neckline
• Interesting details such as an inset to improve your sewing technique
• Beautiful gathers to enhance all bust sizes
• Dramatic and wide sleeves

I offer three lengths (blouse, short dress and long dress) so you have options for every season.

Sewing techniques

Difficulty : adventurous beginner or intermediate, you have already completed some sewing projects.

Each technique is not difficult in itself. I break down the project into accessible steps, either through the illustrations or the video course. So if you want to get started, you are in the right place.

You will learn professional techniques that will be useful for all your sewing projects : how to sew beautiful insets. I also offer different types of finishings - some are quick to do, some are more refined - depending on your experience and the time you can allow to your project. You'll find tips for the elopement dress version and how to sew the lace. I'll also show you how to add a lining... all with method, pedagogy and precision!

If you're just starting to sew

Congratulations 🎉 and welcome to the sewing world ! I've got you covered :

• A glossary 🔤 of sewing terms (only in French)
• A complete video course that is not too long and well shot (in HD!): it is included in the purchase and only for people who bought the pattern.

My clients often describe Ose Patterns' instructions as "easy to follow", "high quality" and "very well explained" :

For more experienced sewers

DELANO is a quick and rewarding project to sew. You'll have fun with the insets at the neckline learn techniques to make a beautiful hem. My experience in a fashion house taught me how to work in a methodical way. So I hope that you will learn new techniques and that you will have a great sewing time !
