I’m EXCITED to share the New Ballad Blouse from Love Notions. It’s the perfect woven blouse for the summer with super cute details. I know I will end up making many! In my video you can see how to sew the button placket / neckline and more. I chose the gathered shoulders for mine and there is a shirred shoulder option too along with many sleeve options.

The New Ballad blouse (XS-5X) is 25% OFF through the 16th of May. This my affiliate link: https://www.lovenotions.com/product/b...
