This pattern was a perfect fit in every way but the neckline. I found it too high on the throat and will cut the front of the neckline down by 2 inches. I will also lengthen the cuff by 1" as that was a bit tight on my arm. The body, and especially shoulders, fit beautifully. The instructions and tutorials were excellent - I learned some new things despite my 60 years experience sewing garments for myself.
Great shirt pattern. Perfect size, perfect fit. Loved everything about the shirt other than the large pockets. . But that could be omitted, so no issues.
I think the sleeves are too short on this pattern, also the placement of the pockets doesn't allow for the overlap of the band. I wish that I had used another fabric to test the pattern before making it with the optic white linen. Carole
It fit me with no alterations sleeves so easy to do.. learned a lot from tutorial including round them.
This is the free Arca Shirt pattern. This is a great first shirt pattern because there's no collar and fewer pattern pieces than most shirts. I put the pattern file through PDF Stitcher and created a projector file. I Highly recommend this pattern!
This is my all time favourite pattern. Here I've used it as a jacket in a heavy weight upholstery linen. Mixed pattern for interest. I wish I could post multiple pictures to show all the assorted details.
Here I've used the pattern with no changes although I love the flexibility of this pattern and to make you own changes. This is now my go to pattern for a blouse and I've lost count of how many I've made.
Anca tunic. I lengthened front to match back hem edge.
I enjoyed making the Anca shirt in FS linen. The Thread tutorials were easy to follow and I completed the shirt fairly quickly. I made another Anca shirt in a cotton print posted here.
This was my second make using this This High Low Hem shirt pattern. I shortened the back hem length and omitted the pockets. The pattern runs true to size and has easy to follow tutorials on The Thread. Thank you for these free patterns!
I love this pattern. Came out very well. I made it in a khadi cotton/silk blend bought from India. The pattern was perfect for the fabric. I did a few alterations to the pattern. 1. Front neckline depth increased. It was too high for my taste. 2. Sleeve placket omitted. I just gathered the sleeve hem and bound it. 3. Omitted the pockets. I made size 4/6 and it's perfect for me , not too loose, not tight, comfortable fit. I'm definitely going to make more. Thank you for the pattern.
I chose to make the pockets smaller than the pattern. The neckline was thick, and I was worried about trying to make the buttonhole, so I sewed the top button on the right side, and sewed a snap instead.
I couldn't post on the Complexion linen page; that is the linen I used with a Vogue pattern 9236. I love this linen!
Love this pattern. Thinking about lengthening it into a dress. Love the fabric. IL022 964 Softened Because it is a two toned thread, it almost has a shimmer. I bought it on sale, but went back and bought a different color (963) at regular price.
