The Makers Shirt
Your first true step into wearable garment construction — short sleeves, functional front pockets, and a crisp collar. More involved than accessories, approachable enough to push you forward.
Six things you'll keep
Watch it made before you cut
This one doesn't have its own build-along yet, and I'd rather say so plainly than let you find out after paying. It's on the list to finish.
Almost every technique in it is already filmed somewhere else: the collar and collar stand are covered in full in the KIRI Wrap Shirt film, and setting sleeves into armholes plus joining the body panels are covered in the Origin Hooded Jacket film. Between those two you have the whole shirt.
What to make it in
Weights and sourcing are in the materials list that comes with the pattern.
What arrives
Never printed a pattern before? The print & tiling guide covers it in about twenty minutes.
Measure the 2″ test square first. It's the only thing that goes wrong, and the only thing you can't undo. Print at 100%, from a laptop rather than a phone.
Buy a little more fabric than you need, and run the tricky part once in something cheap before you touch the good stuff.
Never made a pattern before? Start with the free ones — they're the same system, no risk.
