Full details

Designed for those who want to build a handmade wardrobe, this pattern provides the flexibility of three sleeve lengths and a classic scoop neckline; however, users should note that the loose fit may require careful sizing or adjustments for those who prefer a more structured, tailored aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure you have your fabric, matching thread, and standard sewing notions such as scissors, pins, and an iron for pressing seams. Before cutting, it is highly recommended to perform a 'tissue fit' by pinning the pattern pieces together to check the length and width against your body measurements.

Care for your finished garment depends entirely on the fabric selected. For most cotton or linen versions, a gentle machine wash and low-heat tumble dry are usually acceptable. If you choose delicate silks or rayons, hand washing or professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stitched hems and the garment shape.
