Favorite Shirt draws inspiration from the classic polo shirt, featuring a one-piece collar, a clean silhouette and square pockets.

The shirt simply slips on over the head, making it an approachable project for sewists of all levels.

CHOOSING FABRIC FOR YOUR PROJECT

The pattern is designed for woven, light and medium weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, light wool and corduroy.

The shirt can be sewn in many different fabrics, but it’s important to keep in mind that the material you choose affects the difficulty of the project.

Cotton is easy to work with and therefore a good choice for beginners.

FIT

This pattern has a relaxed fit, designed to have an oversized silhouette. The shirt is pulled on over the head, so it requires a generous chest width and deep armholes.
