Now,  a fresh take on this beloved pattern with the Viper blouse shirt. This versatile extension allows you to transform the original Viper pattern into a chic blouse, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

To adapt the Viper into a blouse shirt,  a free PDF extension that includes the front bust and back bust pattern pieces has been provided. This extension is designed to be used with the original Viper pattern, so you’ll need the Viper pocket pattern to complete the transformation. The steps for assembling the blouse are clearly outlined in a detailed video tutorial, ensuring a smooth sewing experience.

The Viper blouse shirt is available in sizes ranging from 34 to 52, making it accessible to a wide range of sewists. With seam allowances included (1 cm), the pattern is designed for intermediate sewing levels, providing a satisfying challenge for those looking to refine their skills.

When it comes to fabric choices, the Viper blouse is incredibly versatile. Light to medium-weight fabrics (around 60 to 200g/m²) such as poplins, twills, viscose, cotton, fine denim, or even lace are all suitable. For a summer version, consider using a cotton voile or a soft, light viscose jacquard like our Lily fabric. The fabric requirements are straightforward: 150 cm for sizes 34-40, 160 cm for sizes 42-48, and 180 cm for sizes 50-52, based on a fabric width of 140 cm.

In addition to fabric, you’ll need 70 cm of Vlieseline G710 type iron-on interfacing, 10 buttons (10-12 mm) for the shirt, and 2 extra buttons of the same size for the shoulder tabs. The pattern offers plenty of opportunities to play with different fabric textures and colors, allowing you to create a blouse that truly reflects your personal style.

Embrace the opportunity to add this elegant blouse to your wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing it up for a formal occasion or wearing it casually, the Viper blouse shirt is sure to become a staple piece that you’ll reach for again and again.
