      Great pattern
    Reviewed by Cheryl ( Verified Buyer) on 12/17/2022
    I made 3 of these shirts for my nephews, all different sizes. The instructions were really good, and they sewed up beautifully! I ignored the “button down” part and didn’t put a button in the collar (it still felt like a million buttonholes!). Highly recommend this pattern.

      Excellent button down
    Reviewed by Sew.irons ( Verified Buyer) on 05/09/2021
    I purchased this pattern to make a birthday gift for my grandson and it turned out perfect! The pattern and instructions are excellent. I finished everything with French seams and together with the inside yoke, collar and cuff finishes, this shirt is beautiful on the inside and outside.

      Adorable shirt that I will come back to for years
    Reviewed by Sarah Lowry on 08/05/2020
    This is a true wardrobe staple pattern. I have made it once and I already have plans for many more. The instructions are simple and straightforward. This would be a great pattern to start with if you have never sewn a collar or a cuff. It is also super customizable . I made mine short sleeved without the button down collar. I plan on doing a long sleeved one for fall!

      Easter shirt
    Reviewed by Xvcg ( Verified Buyer) on 04/26/2018
    I made a last minute shirt for Easter, and it came together beautifully. I loved having separate upper and under pieces, it simplifies the sewing. The collar is the neatest I’ve made, and I will use the instructions for other shirts. Best of all, I have a reliable shirt pattern I can use for years!

      Button up button down shirt
    Reviewed by Sandra Jones ( Verified Buyer) on 04/19/2018
    Well drafted pattern for little boys with big boy details. I am completing the third of three shirts, size 5, for my grandson. I did use a contrast color for the inner collar band on two and they are so cute. The cotton fabrics I used are fine quality shirting weight and I was able to put French seams when completing the side seams, but lapped seams would be a nice alternative. The pattern sizes are stacked, but I traced the appropriate size to conserve the pattern for future use. I have also made garments from the Sketchbook shirt and shorts pattern, so can attest these patterns are well designed.
