With its balloon sleeves and its fitted bodice, Nuage is an alternative to the basic t-shirt. Nuage offers 2 balloon sleeve lengths (short and mid), and a long sleeve extension. The pattern will teach you how to finish a neckline professionally. Very quick to sew, you will need more than one in your wardrobe! It fits busts from 82cm / 31 1/2" to 114cm / 45".
The Nuage shirt is an intermediate level pattern. The sleeves are gathered at the head and bicep in order to get this balloon shape. This pattern is made to be sewn with an overlocker but it can also be sewn with only a usual sewing machine. Knowing how to use a double needle is a plus. A glossary is available on www.camimade.com/glossary.
Fabric suggestions: light to medium weight stretch knit fabrics like cotton jersey, with 40-50% elasticity (10cm of fabric goes up to 14-15cm when stretched). Prefer a fabric with a good recovery (that recovers its initial shape after being stretched).
The pictured samples are sewn in cotton jersey (short sleeves camel and long sleeves beige) and polyester jersey (short sleeves pink).
Model measurements: bust 86cm (33 7/8") - waist 68cm (27 1/8“) - hips 91cm (35 ⅞") - 1.58m tall (5'2"). All samples are in size B.
