Big Shirt Sewing Pattern

The Big Shirt Sewing Pattern is an oversized, relaxed shirt with a classic stand and collar, dropped shoulders, and a button-front placket. Gentle gathers at the back yoke add subtle shaping, and side seam pockets complete the practical, polished look. Choose between voluminous cuffed long sleeves or elbow-length sleeves. Lightweight woven fabrics work best — cotton or linen for a crisp effect, viscose or silk for a softer, draped finish.
