Customer Questions and Answers
This is more of a suggestion than a question, but I've noticed others posting comments/ questions about the cuff. I made it work, but it'd be SUPER helpful if you could add a notch or two to the cuff and sleeve. Thanks!
Thank you for clarifying the problem. Can I reverse the front left and right patterns and still make it work?
F|S Team
So long as you have 2 front which are opposites and right sides up, the only difference will be which side your buttons and buttonholes are. So if this doesn't bother you, your project will be ok.
I think I've messed up before starting to sew. When I opened up my fabric to cut out the "Right Front" and "Left Front", I placed the pattern on the wrong side of the fabric. It looks like I should have placed on right side of fabric. Any suggestions? My email is cgcatesgmail.com...PLEASE HELP (My fabric is pinwale corduroy)
F|S Team
Hello, I'm sorry you've had a sewing mishap there! Our patterns are designed to be used for our linen fabric, so you will need to take some extra precautions for your corduroy fabric such as making sure the pattern pieces are cut correctly and in in the correct direction for the nap. Linen doesn't have a discernable right and wrong side, or a direction.
Hey printed the pdf but it's not accurate and can you pls tell me a4 size of the printout or can you pls help what changes to do while printing
F|S Team
Hello, please make sure your printer settings are set to 100% or actual size, and the paper in the tray matches your printer settings on the computer. For more assistance, please email us directly.
Could I make a man's shirt if I changed the sides of the buttons/buttonholes?
F|S Team
Yes, you can do this.

When the model is wearing a white garment, can you position them in front of a wall that is NOT white? The details of the garment are impossible to see. Or put the model in a light, solid garment.
F|S Team
Thank you for your feedback. You can also see details of the garment on the line drawings which are included in the free download.
Hello, I have trouble with the length of the shoulder seams... the back seam is more than 3cm smaller than the front shoulder seam... I double ckecked the pattern pieces and every other seam is the right size... I don't understand what happened... Help !
F|S Team
Hello, We recommend comparing your pattern to your fabric to check its accuracy and see if it has stretched out. I would also make sure you line up your front and back shoulders along the sewing lines, ad they can be longer at the edges to account for the shape of the armhole.
Where is the size chart?

Hi! So... I want to turn this into a sleeveless shirt dress (with gathered waist). Would I need to do anything special to make it sleeveless, other than omit the sleeve pattern and use bias finishing instead? I'm worried about warping in the armhole if left without a sleeve. For the skirt, I'm planning on using the skirt for the Diana, except widening and doing gathers instead of pleats. Would that be OK? Are the button plackets the same width & etc? fabrics-store.com/dress/diana-button-down-linen-pleated-dress-type-pdf
F|S Team
Hello, you may like to shape the armholes since they are designed to accommodate a sleeve, which can be quite long at the shoulder than a traditional sleeveless design. The Noa and Diana patterns aren't design to go together so be sure to make sure the Diana matches up to the Noa shirt at your desired point, allowing for enough extra fabric in the Diana pattern for your gathers. If you would like a sleeveless shirt dress with a gathered skirt, perhaps you may like to look at the Salome Dress.
I have problem i don't understand So where do we use the two narrow button band? It seems it is not involved in your pictures and the shirt , would you help me please ?!!
F|S Team
Hello, The button band is covered in the linked tutorial, which is mentioned at the start of the first step of the tutorial.

Hello, I've printed the pattern but can't find the cutting layout, can you direct me to this, for the noa shirt pattern.
F|S Team
Hello, In order to offer so many patterns for free, we have made the layouts very simple so they don't include cutting layouts. We recommend you fold your fabric in half with selvedges together and start by laying your pattern pieces which need to lay on the fold first, then laying the other larger pieces on your fabric. Finally slot in any other pattern pieces into the gaps.
hello I have downloaded this pattern but I cannot found the instructions? thanks for your help Anne
F|S Team
Hello Ann, If you go to our Blog, The Thread, and search "Noa shirt" in the search bar, the tutorial will come up. Blog is blog.fabrics-store.com
Thanks for this lovely pattern and the elobarate instructions! I'm making the shirt in size 0/2. I found my button band was a little short, so it's left unfinished on the inside (not enough length for a double fold). I also found the cuffs are a lot wider than the sleeve (I already formed the two pleats following the instructions). How come?
F|S Team
Hello, The button band is shorter on the collar edge as well as the hem to reduce bulk in these areas. The cuff however, is smaller than the sleeve opening, so I would check your pattern was printed at the correct scaling.
I've made a lot of shirts with many different patterns and this is now my new favorite shirt pattern. I made one with linen and am currently working on one with a Kenyan cotton. I'll post pictures when I'm done. We had somebody in a beginning garment making class and they were able to follow this pattern and make a well fitting shirt. It definitely is oversized and I will likely use french seams as suggested by another reviewer if I make another one from linen (or silk!) My only complaint is the complete lack of notches on the cuff. I made it work, but it'd be super helpful if you could add a notch or two to the cuff and sleeve. I plan to post this suggestion in the comments section as well.
Gorgeous shirt pattern. Easy to print & pieces fitted together very well. Even the sleeve head went in well. I only found the cuffs were very big so I just cut them down in width & added an extra pleat to the sleeve. I've made 3 of these lovely shirts now. One in vintage linen & two in fine cotton.
This pattern is amazing. I'd never sewn a shirt such as this before and it came out so well. I made it in a white linen. It's a staple in my wardrobe. Thinking about making another
A Great Sew!
This was my first button up blouse although I've been sewing for a while. I found the pattern to be a reasonably good fit. After I started sewing, I read the reviews saying it ran a little large so I used generous French seams and this worked out fine. The on-line tutorial and links were helpful. I'm pleased with the finished shirt and will post a picture.
I have made several times and it is wonderful and simple. So comfortable to wear. The instructions are is several places so you need to be aware of that for the front closure. The only modification I had to make was to take the arms up a little to fit my body better.
It's my new favourite pattern! It was a bit intimidating to start the project as there are many pieces and many button holes etc, buy I followed the instruction one by one, and I was so happy to end up with a perfect shirt. It fits nicely and comfortable to wear. I can't wait to try the pattern with different fabric now.
This was such a satisfying pattern to sew and made all the more fun sewing with a fabric design I created myself! I used a cotton poplin. Here is the design in my spoonflower shop spoonflower.com/en/fabric/16830062-floral-lilac-fun-light-small-scale-by-creativeinchi Thank you so much for sharing such a great pattern!
