      Camp Shirt
    Reviewed by Eileen ( Verified Buyer) on 06/15/2023
    Although I’ve used Oliver & S pattens before, this was my first time making something for myself. The pattern and instructions could not have been better written or easier to understand, even for someone who is a beginner. What most impresses me is that the garment fit is true to the advertised measurements. This is very important to me. I love my camp shirt and will be making more and looking for additional patterns!

      Lovely shirt
    Reviewed by Diane ( Verified Buyer) on 03/24/2022
    I made this up in to a shirt in a linen fabric. The instructions are very easy to follow, the fit matched my measurements well and it is a great casual, comfortable shirt to wear. I have loved all the patterns I've bought from Oliver and S.

      Clear and simple
    Reviewed by JGordon ( Verified Buyer) on 12/20/2019
    This was easy to follow pattern foe a competent beginner. The finished dress looks great. I did not like the breast pockets but would love it if it had pockets in the seams.

  • Errata

    1. In the first printing of the pattern, there was a very minor inconsistency in the grading of the sleeve pieces (pieces 10 and 14). The sleeve cap was off by approximately 1/4". The difference is so minor that most sewists will not notice it at all when sewing the garment. If you have already cut your sleeve piece and the difference bothers you, you can sew it with a smaller seam allowance than the recommended 1/2", and it should come together for you without issue. But if you would like to receive updated and corrected sleeve pattern pieces, you may download and print them by clicking this link.

     

    Determining Which Printing You Have

    As errata are discovered, they are marked for correction in subsequent printings of the pattern. To determine which printing of an instruction sheet or pattern sheet you have, look at the copyright box which appears on each. Toward the bottom of the box, there is a series of numbers.

    The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing.

    Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
