Customer Questions and Answers
My measurements are 36 29 37. It looks like I'm between an 8 & a 10 for the Mykonos pattern. Which size do you think would be best? Thanks for your reply.
F|S Team
Hello, We recommend the size 8 which fits most of your measurements the best, and the pattern has enough ease included to account for anything bigger than the suggested body measurements.
Lauren, In todays pattern release post you show the shirt in an amazing stripe which would be wonderful in a number of color combinations. When will the striped 57 inch wide fabric be available? Kathie
F|S Team
Hello Kathie, Thank you for your interest in the striped fabric. This is something we will not be restocking as it was not a big seller for us.
I'm thinking of purchasing the multiple size Mykonos pattern. I know the minute my daughter sees mine she'll want it also. Do the patterns run true to size? I wear a 6-8 in ready wear. Will my measurements translate well to the pattern?
F|S Team
In order to check sizing accurately, we have provided you with both the body measurements our sizes are based on as well as the finished garment measurements, this way you can compare it to similar items of clothing you or your daughter already own, so you can get an accurate idea for fit.
Can I get the Mykonos pattern in a PDF projector file? I am between 2 groups of sizes and can't really justify buying 2 paper patterns. Thank you in advance. Jeri
F|S Team
Hello Jeri, I'm sorry our premium patterns are only available in the paper format.
Is the strip fabric used for the Mykonos-linen shirt available from the F/S.
F|S Team
Sorry no, we have sold out of this fabric and will not be restocking it.
I have three of your paper patterns that come in a tube with a hook to hang the tube. The problem is that I can't figure out how to use the hook. Can you help me?
F|S Team
Hello. The hook is a pattern hook which is designed to be thread through your paper patterns. Simply punch a hole through each of your pattern pieces and thread the anchored end through. Please email us if that is confusing, we can send a photo. Otherwise, a quick google for 'pattern hook' will show you how they are designed to be used.
Is this pattern available as a PDF? Sending the paper version to Sweden will cost $232.- excluding taxes and fees which is far too much for a pattern unfortunately.
F|S Team
Sorry, our premium patterns are only available in the physical format at the moment.
Would I be able to purchase just the pant/short pattern on the Mykonos?
F|S Team
I'm sorry, the pants are sold as a set with the other garments and cannot be separated.
I want to buy this pattern and fabric for it, but you do not give fabric recommendations, so I don't know what to buy. Lightweight? Midweight? Handkerchief? Your fabric descriptions also do not say if they are opaque or sheer. What do you recommend for the shirt? For the pants?
F|S Team
If it is your first time working with our linen, we recommend our Signature Finish IL019 MEDIUMWEIGHT 100% LINEN (5.3 oz/yd2) because of its versatility and super soft finish. For added durability and a rustic appearance, choose 4C22 HEAVYWEIGHT 100% LINEN (7.1 oz/yd2). The heavier weight drapes beautifully, is opaque, and is less prone to wrinkling. IL020 LIGHTWEIGHT 100% LINEN (3.5 oz/yd2), our lightest linen fabric, has a silk-like hand because of the finer threads it's woven from and is great option for the shirt for hotter weather. Lighter colored fabrics will always be a little sheer if worn with bright or contrasting undergarments, but are Ok with nude or matching colors.
This shirt pattern lends itself to many different options. I used a lot of different heavy weight doggie bag fabrics for my test and it came out great! This pattern is great for color block work. Going to try a medium weight next. The pants pattern fits me. I only wish I had read through the instructions more carefully before cutting/sewing as this pattern has a left hand zipper (not right handed, like I'm used to). The curved waist band works great. Yes, this is a more detailed assembly for both shirt and pants, just go slow and follow the instructions. Not a beginner pattern.
This is a beautifully designed shirt, and if a pattern doesn't include pockets, I always add them - no need with this one! I also appreciated the squared-off collar band, rather than a rounded one - much easier, and more crisp. The construction was new for me in terms of the breast pockets; very unusual, and pretty classy. There are two reasons this didn't get 5 stars. The first is that, for a summer shirt (i.e. linen), 3 layers required for the breast pockets make it very heavy/thick. The second is that I have not been able to set in the sleeves without puckering (I've ripped them out & re-sewn them twice so far). I even used basting stitches to ease in the sleeve cap and still get unacceptable puckers. I'm a pretty accomplished sewist, but not a fashion designer, so I'm kind of at a loss as to how to fix this. When I reached out to FS for assistance, I was told it was a drop sleeve, but no hints as to how to alter things to eliminate the real issue. Anyway, I'd love to make this again (and probably will) after I figure out how to eliminate the breast pockets (I only use the side ones, anyway) and resolve the sleeve issue. And, I may try the light-weight (handkerchief) linen instead of the medium weight. It really is a lovely design.
This is not the fault of the pattern or instructions; I was not expecting so complicated a pants pattern for casual wear. I wanted a pair that were straight legged and not baggy in the seat, two in seam pockets, and elastic waist. I made pants using the free Moroccan pattern, but did not like the fit. I will follow my usual method and painfully remove the stitching from a pair I like, and use them as a pattern for some new duds. Susan in Tucson
I am almost done with the Mykonos shorts. Size 16 is too small and size 18 are too big and I didn't want to buy two patterns. I added a little bit to the 16 and made the seam allowance a little smaller and came out with a good fit. But the most exciting part is I figured out the fly zipper installation. Between the booklet and the tutorial for the Riva pants in the help center I made it work, and I only had to rip it out once! Now all that's left is the waistband. Just Curious - which weight do you recommend for these pants? I made them in the IL09 Feather.
F|S Team
Hello, It's lovely to hear your Mykonos Pants came out with a good fit, and our Help Center Tutorials were able to help. We recommend our IL019 mediumweight or 4C22 heavyweight for the pants/shorts in this pattern
The Mykonos patterns are too complicated for me, although it looked simple in the picture. The top is too "front heavy" with four pockets and the bottom is even more complicated so I can't use the pattern. I like simple patterns like those that can be downloaded, but the downloading doesn't work all the time.
F|S Team
We're sorry you found the Mykonos Collection complicated. This pattern is for the Advanced skill level. Please lookout for an email from us so we can help out best :)
Now if I said anyone has ever called my style whimsical and playful, I'd be lying. I'm practical through and through. But I got to thinking about what my version of dopamine sewing would be, and then as luck would have it, I stumbled across the Mykonos pattern. I was instantly enamored with the short-sleeved view of the button up. The plethora of pockets–four total–and unusual side piecing with so much color-blocking potential felt playful and practical. Does a shirt really need that many pockets? Maybe not. Does it make me feel like the coolest extra from The Big Lebowski during the bowling alley scene? Absolutely. And spoiler, now that I have a shirt with four pockets, I can confirm they're all necessary.
The Mykonos shirt is a fun new take on the classic button up shirt. It is an oversized shirt; the kind you'd borrow from a boyfriend or perhaps grandpa. Sleeves rolled up, front left unbuttoned, it is the kind of shirt you put on and feel instantly confident and cool, without trying too hard. I was drawn to the Mykonos set after seeing the model photo and how comfortable the ensemble looked. It seemed so well put together, but effortless at the same time. I noted from the description that the design drew inspiration from men's tailoring and was intrigued. I would describe my style as feminine and wondered if I could make the Mykonos my own.
The MYKONOS shirt is a perfect wardrobe staple, fun to sew, effortless to style and full of pockets. It's equal parts lunch lady, grandpa, french janitor, professional oil painter, teddy girl and rich glamorous auntie. I hope to see many of you try it out and get lost in the pockets and gender neutral ease of the silhouette. The instructions for the shirt are simple and clear. I was able to follow along with very few mistakes which is unusual for me on a cold sew of a new pattern. I had never sewn inseam chest pockets before, and although I didn't totally understand what or why I was doing certain steps, it all came out lovely and crisp in the end. There are many top stitching details throughout the shirt that add to the purposeful oversized yet tailored look. I found the construction of the shirt enjoyable and thoughtful, which is not always the case with often tedious button-downs.
