Everyone needs a fabulous shirt to dress up or down, that effortless throw-on that goes with everything and is versatile enough for all occasions. The Everyday Shirt is as smart or as casual as your day (or night!) demands.
The Everyday Shirt has a relaxed fit with an open collar, dropped sleeves and cuff detail. The design features a mitred split hem, a subtle yet quirky detail that gives the opportunity for contrast topstitching, or a straight hem for a more boxy silhouette. The Everyday Shirt sewing pattern provides endless styling opportunities.
The Everyday Shirt is a versatile sewing pattern that works just as well in lightweight denim, a smooth Tencel twill or a floaty viscose. Opt for a medium weight fabric for a more structured garment.
