Boxy Blooms Blouse

Enjoy patterns, articles, and secret surprises! Become a Charter Member of our brand-new digital sewing membership Makers Club.

Embellish a breezy linen top with delicate embroidery for a simple but elegant summer look that can go from casual to officewear. The Boxy Blooms Blouse uses the Antero Shell from Capsule Studio: Well-Traveled as its base. The shell top was designed for the collection by Amanda Carestio of Sew News, and then CME editor Kate Kaynard added her spin with the Delicate Autumn Wildflower Border from Embroidery Library. It was a true Sew Daily collaboration!

The free period for the Antero Shell pattern, used in the Boxy Blooms Blouse for Creative Machine Embroidery Summer 2020, expired August 31, 2020.
