Tiana’s Closet shares the free Basalie flutter sleeve top pattern, an easy and breezy summer blouse with lovely cape-style flutter sleeves and an effortless relaxed fit. One of the neatest details is the clever reversible neckline, which you can easily customize with a soft front tie or a classic little button closure.
The pattern is super beginner-friendly and comes in 10 sizes ranging from XXS all the way to 5XL. With just a handful of simple pattern pieces – the yoke, ruffle, sleeves, and neckline binding – it stitches up quickly and works great for using up smaller cuts of fabric. It pairs beautifully with light woven materials like airy linen, cotton lawn, or lightweight rayon that give the sleeves a soft, flowing drape. Throw it on with jeans, shorts, or a cute skirt for an easy warm-weather outfit. Download the free pattern and stitch up this stylish DIY ruffle top for your seasonal wardrobe!
