Ruffle sleeve inspiration for Lola: Tester makes

Ruffle sleeve inspiration for Lola: Tester makes

Home   The Forget-me-not Patterns Blog   Ruffle sleeve inspiration for Lola: Tester makes
Customer makes Lola

May 06, 2021

We recently launched an exciting ruffle sleeve update to the Lola blouse and dress. Enjoy this gallery of lovely makes from our testers, and get inspired.

The Lola blouse and dress is on sale to celebrate, with 20% off using code LOLALOVE. (Sale ends May 8th.)

Boon Kuan's make: Crisp linen

Boon Kuan used this lovely Nani Iro linen for her Lola blouse. The crispness of the linen gives great body to the sleeves. And the asymmetric stripe creates a lovely feature.

Allison's make: Border + ruffle

Allison cleverly used a border print along the hem of the ruffle sleeve. This is a great way to play with grainlines! She kept the yoke plain, which showcases the back pleat nicely. This softer rayon fabric drapes wonderfully.

Bernice's make: Vibrant yellow

Bernice shows off a lovely block colour with her make that is simple and fresh. She made the medium bust view with the scoop neck.

Nadia's make: Double the ruffles!

Nadia used a printed rayon challis from Lady McElroy. She opted to use the ruffle options for both the sleeve and the back yoke, which complements this lightweight, drapey fabric perfectly. It's so fun having that little surprise in the back.

Rosa's make: Cute and casual

Rosa styled her Lola blouse in a ditsy print, paired with jeans. It makes for the perfect blouse to just pull on and go!

Linda's make: Pattern hack!

Linda got clever, and modified the length of the dress view into a maxi by extending the length and adding a ruffle to the base. We love to see people get creative with modifying our patterns!

Chloe's make: Fresh and floral

Chloe chose a viscose challis and says it's a dream to wear! Again we have another double-ruffle feature on display and we love to see it.

Jenni's make: Leopard print rayon

Rayon was a very popular fabric choice for this pattern, and rightly so. It drapes beautifully softly, giving an elegant look to the ruffle. Jenni used the full bust fit option. She cleverly managed to get this pattern out of less than one metre of fabric! By cutting some pieces on the crossgrain, she was able to fit it all in. A bit of pattern tetris is always satisfying, and the result is beautiful!

Nandita's make: Colour and print

Nandita knows how to play with fun fabric. As an original tester for the Lola pattern, it's become a "TNT" (Tried-and-True) pattern for her. That's one of the highest compliments we can get! She looks fabulous as always!
