This was an amazing tutorial like all of her tutorials. I have a huge learning curve ahead of me but I was able to make this project without a problem.
Beginner sewer - I made this as my very first project after simple fabric bags and hemming. The tutorials were excellent. My fabric didn't really have a right/wrong side so I got confused and put one of the arms on backwards so I couldn't complete the French seam, but it was for a Halloween costume and my daughter didn't care. She loved the shirt, which I made dress length, side seams unfinished and split from waist down (she tore the skirt section into strips to be a banshee). Upcycled a soft old sheet. Success!
Lovely pattern and so versatile BUT the French seams on the shoulders and sleeves absolutely do my head in!
Lots of unpicking and redoing and putting the project in “time out”
Great easy pattern. I used the pattern for a 70's costume and added a 70's collar. Really enjoyed making it and found the instructions easy to follow. I plan to use pattern again to make more shirts for my son.
I made this for my friends 1 yo boy from double gauze. The seam sewing method was good for this fabric.
I am a pretty new seamstress. I had made two dresses for myself prior to making this shirt, and this was much more complicated than either dress I made. My son wanted all the neatest details: reverse facing, button sleeve loops, split binding. I had never done french seams before, neither had I made a collar. It is a little mind bending figuring out some of the techniques, but the tutorials, both written and video were very helpful. The shirt came out completely beautiful. My son loved the split hem as he is very into the "French tuck". I made a second shirt for my husband afterwards and it went a little more quickly. I absolutely love the reverse facing option. The fabric I used I had previously purchased to make a dress for myself. Now all three of us have clothing using the same fabric, which is delightful.
What a great shirt for the summer, I found it easy to make up, the instructions are very clear, my grandson lives his shirt and I think I may be making one for myself, the only thing I added was to sew the outer edge of the back facing to the shirt to keep it laying flat. 5 stars all round
It's an awesome pattern. Instruction is clear and very easy to follow. Made 3 shirts for my customers and she's very satisfied with it. Thank you
