Tabenie C.
Elegant blouse for a very reasonable investment

I made Cedar in a rayon challis that cost a few pounds per metre and the finished blouse looks like an expensive purchase. The pattern price is small and the fabric requirements are modest, so the total outlay for a blouse I'll wear constantly is remarkably low. Better value than anything in a shop at this quality level.

Zareva N.
Pretty design, neckline could use more guidance

The blouse is lovely and I've worn it several times already. The only place I hesitated was the instruction for the neckline facing clip allowances — the text described where to clip but without a close-up diagram I had to guess at the intervals. My finish turned out fine but a photograph at that step would remove all uncertainty for less experienced sewists.

Alfrida B.
Added a tie to the back for extra shaping

I added a self-fabric tie through the side seams to create a wrap effect and slightly more shape. The modification was easy to engineer because the side seams are clean and straight, giving me a natural place to create the tie channels. My modified Cedar has a completely different silhouette from the original and I like it even more.

I
Idalee F.
Intermediate sewist, appreciated the clean lines

The seam allowances are consistent throughout and all the notches are clearly marked, which is the kind of accurate drafting that makes a pattern reliable rather than frustrating. As someone who has been sewing garments for several years, I appreciate when pattern makers do the drafting work properly. Cedar fits well without any grading guesswork.

K
Kandelina B.
Built my confidence with blouse sewing

My first blouse attempt years ago was a disaster, so Cedar felt like a second chance. The instructions explained the facing construction in plain language and the photos showed every pressed edge and corner turn. The finished blouse is neat inside and out, and I finally feel confident enough to try a blouse with a collar next.
