Bias Teardrop Blouse Embroidery Tutorial

Bias Teardrop Blouse Tutorial

Hope has taught this lovely Bias Teardrop Insert Blouse lesson at Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion in Huntsville and now she is making this project available through her Elegant Endeavors series. The tutorial includes color-step-by-step photos for each technique listed below, along with three machine embroidery designs. Spaghetti Bias tubing is used to create a simple and elegant blouse. You can use the same techniques and embroidery designs to create your own bed linens, handkerchiefs and table runners if you would rather create something for your home.

The tutorial includes an 8 page color step-by-step PDF file outlining the following techniques:

Sources for the V-neck Shirt Pattern & trims

Using machine embroidery to create a teardrop shaped sheer windowpane

Using Roxanne's Glue-Baste-It for a "No Fail" technique

Shaping Spaghetti Bias Tubing around a V-neck shirt

Shaping Spaghetti Bias into curves and miter

Using Spaghetti Bias as a hemming technique on sleeves

Traditional lace-shaped bow using heirloom lace insertion

Pinstitching with a large eyed needle

Bridging tatting to finished edges and much more

Although this is a project for a ladies blouse, you could use the techniques and embroidery designs on projects for your home. Blouse pattern is not included with this project; however pattern sources are given in the PDF file. 4x4" and 5x7" embroidery hoop required.

I first saw Hope on Pfaff's, Behind The Seams. It really took my breath away. I have been sewing for over 40 years, and I have wanted to do heirloom sewing for as long as I can remember -- but never had the courage to try. Well, after watching Hope and listening to such a warm and friendly person and I thought -- hey, maybe I can do this. Now that I've looked at her website, I could just cry with joy, I'm so excited. Please give her the biggest thank you. I'mm thrilled to pieces. I'm off to wipe my tears and get busy. Thank you soooooo much, Hope!
