Another pattern I found easy to work with and fit beautifully. I especially like the fact that the men’s shirt pattern has the re-enforcing piece across the shoulder from front to back which encloses the raw, gathered edges of the sleeve at the shoulder.

This pattern is very easy to make, even for beginners. There are easy-to-follow directions with clear pictures to illustrate the steps. A reference section is included with directions and illustrations for each stitch used. This is the only 18th century men’s shirt pattern I know of that includes a full cross-stitch alphabet with directions for marking your shirt. Original shirts are very well made inside and out for durability. This pattern has you finish all the inside seams which is consistent with original garments.

I tend to go rouge on pattern instructions but challenged myself to follow to a T. It’s one ☝️ f the best things I’ve made. Great for upping your accuracy game & doing all by hand. The reinforcements at the shoulders & triangle gussets are a lovely, historical, & practical touch. My partner loves it & that is saying a lot since he doesn’t usually do period clothes with me.
