Lots of you enjoyed my Selina Blouse with added jabot tie.  It’s a fun variation to the basic pattern and really plays with the possibilities of the waistcoat-effect front of View A.  Here’s a quick tutorial on how to add your own!

Reasons I love this pattern: First, ruffles!  And insertion lace!  So pretty and delicate and delicious! You can make it as a historical petticoat, or make it as a modern skirt, it’s fabulous as both.

I’m extremely excited to introduce the latest Scroop Pattern: the Selina Blouse. This gorgeous mid-1910s blouse is the perfect addition to your historical costuming wardrobe, but works equally well for historybounding and modern wear. Buy the Selina Blouse pattern here!  — and get 10% off for the first week! To celebrate the launch, the Selina Blouse pattern is 10% off from now until midnight on Friday 23 April, New Zealand time. I absolutely love 1910s fashions.  It was such an inventive era in fashion, but the clothes are also very practical and wearable.  The Selina Blouse pattern is taken from an extant garment in my collection and combines all the best bits of fun and wearability. View A is a direct replica of the original blouse and has a waistcoat-effect front and a collar. View B is based on fashion plates and patterns showing similar simple raglan sleeve blouses.  It has a plain front and no collar.  It’s the perfect palette for trim and embellishment, and for pairing with a novelty collar.
