Origami Blouse
Sewing pattern & construction system
No shoulder seams.
No classic armhole.
This blouse is cut as one continuous piece. The shape comes from folds and internal structure.
The gusset is a key part of the construction. It controls movement and defines the underarm shape.

Fabric
- Light to medium weight fabrics work best.
- The shape depends on how the fabric holds structure.
- Shirting cotton, poplin or similar structured fabrics work best.
- Avoid very loose or unstable fabrics. The gusset area includes a cut under tension, so the fabric needs to hold its shape.
