In this video I’m having a proper natter about shirt sewing patterns, because I feel like a good shirt is one of those wardrobe staples you can make again and again and never get bored. I’m wearing my Closet Core Jenna Shirt while I chat through five new-to-me (or newly released) shirt patterns that have really caught my eye, and I share what’s tempting me about each one—silhouettes, collars, details, and the overall vibe. I talk about the Tilly & The Buttons Frida, Chalk & Notch Rivi, Named Clothing Elsi Revere Collar Shirt, Elena Pattern Studio Prima, and Closet Core Cornelius Western Shirt. It’s very much a pattern round-up style video: what I like, what I’d change, and which fabrics I think would suit each design. If you’re planning your next make and fancy something shirt-y—whether that’s classic and crisp or a bit more statement—this one should give you plenty of inspo (and yes, I do cheekily rope AdamSews into the western shirt chat!).
