This pattern currently has no dedicated build-along video, and there's no release date confirmed yet. The PDF includes full written instructions and construction guidance, but if you rely on video walkthroughs to build, please factor that in before purchasing.
We're actively working with the Roughcut community to build tutorials together — if you want to see how others are approaching it, the Roughcut community chats are a great place to look.
💡 Useful Reference Tutorials

- Kiri Wrap Shirt tutorial — covers collar stand construction in detail, directly transferable to the Maker's Shirt collar
- Kaze Wrap Shirt tutorial — the construction flow and shirt assembly logic closely mirrors the Maker's Shirt build

The Pattern
The bridge between small projects and serious garments
Shirt · Woven
Skill Level 2 / 5
1 The Maker's Shirt
Short sleeves eliminate the challenge of full sleeves under the sewing foot, keeping the focus on the essentials — cutting clean armholes, sewing two functional front pockets, and attaching a crisp collar. The unlined construction introduces clean finishing techniques, whether using an overlocker for the first time or cover-stitching on a domestic machine.
Lightweight, comfortable, and confidence-building — the perfect bridge between small accessories and more advanced pieces like trousers or outerwear. Part of the Roughcut Pattern Series, designed in CLO3D and co-developed by Jack & Gio.

Press Here — Start PagePrinting Correctly
📐 Printing Box
- Files included for A0, A4 and US Letter
- Print at 100% / actual size — never "scale to fit" (print guide included)
- Measure the 2" × 2" test square before cutting any fabric (has to be perfect)
- Print from a laptop/computer for the most reliable print settings
- A0 files can be taken to a local print shop
- Printed & Shipped is also available if you'd rather skip tiling & sticking at home
📎 Tiling Pages?
If you're printing at home on A4 or US Letter, your pages need tiling and sticking together before cutting fabric. Full instructions — tiling, sticking, cutting and pre-production — are covered on the Help page.
Open Help PageSeam Allowance
✂️ Seam Allowance Box
- Every Roughcut pattern (except a few early patterns like the Ushanka Cap and Duffle Bag) already has 1/4" seam allowance built in
- Cut directly on the pattern line — no need to add anything
- Hems, collar and pocket areas may use different allowances — these are stated in the written pattern guidance
- If unsure, refer to the construction notes before cutting — and the Kiri & Kaze tutorial for collar technique reference
⚠ First Build? Read This First
- Buy a little extra fabric — shirt-weight fabric can be tricky to re-cut if you make a mistake
- Don't cut your final fabric until your test square is correct
- This pattern has no dedicated video tutorial yet — read through the full written instructions before cutting into good fabric
- Watch the Kiri & Kaze tutorial for collar stand and shirt assembly reference before starting
- Use a cheaper fabric to practise the collar and armhole finishing first
