Customer Questions and Answers
This pattern is great, only the sleeves are a bit tight for some reason and my arms are not particularly big. I have done a lot of sewing and mostly avoided sleeves with plackets, but your instructions for those were so easy to follow! Thank you :)
I downloaded the pattern file, however it only includes pattern information!
Hi! They are included as an attached file to the main PDF file you are opening. You would open the PDF with Adobe Reader. In the Adobe reader menu click View - Show/Hide - Navigation Panes - Attachments. Adobe pops open a side panel with the attached file which are the pattern pieces you'd print. I am sending you an email with the steps right now. Have a great day.
Hi I've managed to download the pattern without problem. 2 Questions: 1) Where is tutorial for this shirt? The "CLICK HERE" link leads to an Error Page unfortunately. 2) Would this pattern work for a man as well ?
Hi! Thank you for letting us know the link inside the PDF wasn't working. Here is the correct link blog.fabrics-store.com/2019/05/28/tailored-linen-shirt-tutorial/ And we will fix the link in the PDF shortly. As far as altering the pattern to fit a man - please email Catina ( the pattern drafter) at ask fabrics-store.com :)
Thank you, Oksana for emailing the Genia shirt file to me. The file opened immediately when I followed the directions for Adobe. I was able to print only the sizes I needed. Surely, I will write again when I get the shirt sewn. Thank you again. Barbara
Such a nice versatile pattern! I made myself a shirt and was pleased with it - the clear instructions, the sizing, ease of stitching - everything! I now want to make this for my husband (for his birthday) - the style seems quite unisex to me - so is there any guidance on sizes particularly? He wears UK size 36-38; what would that translate to in US sizing in the Genia pattern? I'd appreciate any help please! (i will make sure the button band goes on left :) )
