In order to make this pattern as accessible as possible, I’m releasing this design for free! If you’d still like to support, you’re welcome to use code BODEGAHALF for 50% off, or you can use code BODEGAFREE for a free pattern. Code is applied at checkout.

The Bodega Blouse is a peplum top with a subtle boat neck silhouette. The design is a nod to my favorite corner store in San Francisco, Dolores Deluxe. Its iconic green awning inspired the soft ruffles, creating a simple yet charming piece.

This beginner-friendly pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit in all sizes. As always, a matching made-to-measure pet pattern is included!
