   This is my go-to shirt pattern. I’ve made 5 or 6 (lost count) this season. I like to round off the hems at the side seams, and finish the hems with a double. needle, just for a nice extra detail. Great, straight-forward pattern.

   The length is just right for me. I found the instructions trusted you to know a bit about how a shirt went together so I would take ‘Beginner’ off the description. I put bias tape over where the collar joined the shirt and that works well.

   Yes, it’s shorter than photo. And I have the same comment as above about raw edges on collar edge. I serged the edge and will also cover it with seam tape, or bias binding. Not a good finish.

   Great pattern but I did find the illustration a little misleading – it has ended up way shorter than shown on its illustration. I was really hoping for a long style overshirt but it is instead just upper hip length – if I am to make it again I will add around 10-12cm to the length to give a true overshirt feel.
   The instructions are a little sparse – but good detail given for the cuff placket. You do need a little sewing ability to complete this project. I did put on a back bias covering strip to hide the seam on the back of the collar – otherwise this part of the collar seam is left exposed (not hidden inside the collar seam as you often find).

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
