Well constructed with great instructionsReviewed by Karen (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/05/2024The pattern is well-constructed, and the pieces fit together nicely. The top fits true to size. I tailored the shirt in a bit at the waist, which is a personal preference. This is a great pattern.3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Camp ShirtReviewed by Eileen (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/15/2023Although 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!3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Lovely shirtReviewed by Diane (✓ Verified Buyer) on 03/24/2022I 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.3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Great patternReviewed by Tali (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/19/2020Loved the sewing and the outcome. Excellent instructions as always.3 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Clear and simpleReviewed by JGordon (✓ Verified Buyer) on 12/20/2019This 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.7 of 8 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Errata
- In the first printing of the paper version of this 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. This issues has been fixed in the digital version of the pattern now available.
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.
