PDF - Digital Pattern Blouse and Dress Iam Barbara by Iam patterns from size 34 to 52 (fr/eng)
I am Barbara, a classic shirt: sleeves and a shirt collar, cuffs with tear-proof slit, a back yoke seam, and a center back pleat. I have a hidden button placket and a loose fit. I also come as a dress.
It’s my details that make me an original creation: ruffles at the front and/or back are inserted into the sleeves. I have 3 different ruffle shapes for unique styles.
The I AM Barbara pattern is the meeting of I AM Patterns and Barbara, better known under the pseudonym @bee_made. Even before Instagram existed, Marie-Emilienne, our designer, followed Barbara’s adventures on her blog. It is therefore with great joy that we worked together to offer this pattern that combines our two universes. To learn more about the collab, visit the dedicated article on the blog.
