Buttondown Shirt - 4 sessions
Buttondown Shirt - 4 sessions
Looking for a slim-fitting button-down there's thread theory's Fairfield (available as a PDF that we can print). Grainline's Archer is a classic relaxed-fit button up shirt with a small scale collar. Cashmerette's Harrison is designed for those who are tired of bust gapping. We have become big fans of Wardrobe By Me patterns and recommend the Jensen shirt for a relaxed fit.
A fantastic way to learn the in's and out's of tailoring and get a lovely shirt out of the exercise. Set a sleeve, make a continuous placket and get some practice making buttonholes. Plus lengthen and/or shorten to FIT YOU! That's the point of sewing, isn't it?
