OVER SHIRT • PDF Pattern

By The Modern Sewing Co., Over Shirt is a PDF sewing pattern.

File Name: Over Shirt｜Type: ZIP｜Size: 16.7MB

Garment Details: The Over Shirt is a functional and comfortable worker style jacket with classic shirt making construction details. 

The PDF Pattern comes with in depth written instructions, an A4 tile copy, US Letter tiles and an A0 version.

Sizing: This is a multi-size pattern, including sizes 6-28. Sizes run true to UK sizing - full sizing details, including finished garment measurements can be found here.

Fit notes: The Over Shirt has dropped shoulders with a roomy square fit and a cropped length (finishing just on the hips). Those looking for a slightly longer length can very easily adjust the pattern to add extra length to the body - this works particularly well with heavier fabrics.

Suitable fabrics: This piece works in a huge range of fabrics, from heavier denims and twills to lighter weight cottons & linens. You could even try a wool felt version for winter.

Fabric requirements: 

Fabric width 150cm | Sizes 6 - 12 = 140cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 160cm | Sizes 18 - 28 = 170cm

Fabric width 110cm | Sizes 6 - 12 = 190cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 240cm | Sizes 18 - 28 = 250cm

Trims required: Matching thread,  8 x medium buttons (around 1.5cm), 2 x smaller buttons (for the plackets), thread, about 40cm of good quality fusing

Skill level:  Intermediate sewers 

Construction techniques: Run & fell seams, placket & cuff, collar & collar stand, double yoke and patch pockets

You will receive both an A4, A0 & US Letter size digital pattern along with step by step sewing instructions. You can either print your pattern at home on an A4 printer or send the A0 digital copy to a printing shop (there are many that do this for a very reasonable price). If you decide to print in A4 you will need to piece the tiles together to make one huge page. There is a guide on how to do this included in the instructions.
