   This is a great classic shirt pattern with just the right amount of ease for that slightly oversized, boyfriend look. The instructions are very basic, but I always use the Craftsy shirt making class from Janet Pray when I make shirts, so that wasn’t a problem. There are many good videos on YouTube, such as this one, which go through every detail for a shirt similar to this one.
   

   This pattern has all the things I want in a TNT pattern, sensible seam allowances, the right amount of sleeve head ease, shirt sleeve plackets, grown on front button bands, options for pockets, sleeve tabs, etc, as well as markings which line up perfectly and make sewing so much easier.

   I already have plans for more versions of this great shirt!

   trés beau modele ; sport mais trés élégant
   je l’ai fait en lin léger
   mais peut tout aussi bien etre cousu dans une flanelle ou de la soie
   de nombreuses possibilités
   Si contente de cette marque de patrons . Toujours le petit plus reconnaissable

   Very vague instructions. I had to look up video tutorials online for the cuff plackets and reposition the pockets because they were positioned too low and too close to the underarm. Despite having to trouble shoot it quite a bit it I got 2 beautiful flannel shirts out of it, but it took me probably twice as long as usual to sew them.

   Made mine in light weight linen. Beautiful! Roomy fit and easy to put together. Will be making more.

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.
