Pintuck Poet Blouse PDF Sewing Pattern

The Pintuck Poet Blouse is a romantic, floaty top designed to feel soft, expressive, and full of movement. With its relaxed, boxy silhouette and gathered peplum hem, this blouse strikes a beautiful balance between ease and thoughtful detail. A gently rounded, wide-set neckline frames the front, while the back features two sweet bow ties that double as functional closures—making the back view just as charming as the front.

Long puff sleeves are finished with stitched pintucks near the cuff, creating a soft billow and a sense of quiet drama. That same pintuck detail is echoed in the peplum, adding texture and dimension to the blouse’s airy shape. Designed to feel dreamy, playful, and feminine, this blouse is just as lovely dressed up as it is styled casually with your favorite jeans.

The Pintuck Poet Blouse is a joyful, engaging sew with details that invite you to slow down and enjoy the process. While it includes several techniques, nothing feels overwhelming—just the right amount of structure to build skills and confidence along the way.
