T005 Intro
Whether your look is casual or classic, you probably already have a few shirts in your wardrobe. This timeless piece of clothing has been worn for centuries and is easily redesigned according to the latest trends. Today I’m proposing a sewalong so you can make your own shirt using the pattern #T005. I enjoyed designing this shirt and I hope it minimal and loose shape will please you. You can get the pattern here.
This sewalong will guide you through the making of a shirt, including the collar with a stand, a cuff with continuous placket and flat felled seams for a clean finish. This type of seam is fairly easy to make and they do not need to be edge-finished since the raw edges will be concealed.
This pattern was tested by talented sewist and I’m glad to showcase their work here. I will also leave some links so you can discover their other sewing projects.
Isabelle Courtillier (www.by-isco.fr)
Made of chiffon. Note that the flat felled seams will be more difficult to do in such kind of fabric. Isabelle also added snaps on the pockets.
Sonia Debove (IG @Jadsovic22)
Sonia chose a classic light blue chambray.
Sylvie (IG @Lyliecat)
This one is also made with light blue chambray and the back and flaps are made into a printed wax.
