      Verdun woven T-shirt
    Reviewed by Caryl Gaubatz ( Verified Buyer) on 08/27/2023
    I prefer a 5/8' seam because I make French seams or flat fell seams in all unlined garments. It takes a little longer to add 1/8" all around. Quite honestly, although I like the style, in the future I will only purchase patterns with 5/8: seams. I made 2 versions: silk broadcloth with interfaced facing and sueded rayon with bias neck facing. I prefer the bias facing as it is quicker and just as serviceable. I dye my own fabrics so I am always looking for patterns with simple lines that show off patterned fabric well. The Verdun tee is excellent for fiber artists in this respect. I am 5'3" and weigh 100 lbs. The size small B cup fit very well.

    I’ve made 5 of these so far (two muslins to check fit and three more in various fabrics. The pattern is great, cup sizes, clear directions, excellent option for any new sewers. I plan to make the long sleeve version in the fall.

      Love the pattern concept
    Reviewed by T.Scott ( Verified Buyer) on 03/02/2023
    I am new to sewing and I have found traditional pattern instructions to be confusing. This pattern had very detailed instructions making it clear how to do each step. I love the digital version where I can separate the layers to just get the size I need. But I do have one problem with this pattern, and again I am a novice so it might be me, but I find the collar facing doesn’t really line up with the XL pattern size. Seems the circumference of the interfacing/collar is smaller than the neck opening created by the shirt front and back. I am wondering if this is a problem with the digital pattern as there was only one size for the neck facing. I’ve made two shirts so far and made a slight adjustment to the second one and it fits a little better. Overall I love the detailed instructions and it is encouraging me to try more patterns.

    Reviewed by Brigetta ( Verified Buyer) on 01/02/2023
    I made the long sleeved version and found the sleeves a little long for me, but other than that the sizing was perfect. I love the curved hem and found it a quick and easy sew. Definitely going to make the short sleeve version.

    This pattern is a great style for a simple, stylish woven top. I shortened mine slightly as I am not tall. The cup sizes in the pattern fit well. My "practice" shirt has become a regular in my wardrobe!

    Reviewed by Pat Hitchcock ( Verified Buyer) on 06/21/2022
    First pattern from this company. I made a trial short-sleeved version first and loved the feel and fit. Then made it up in fabric from my stash that was a cotton plaid. I wasn't sure I would like the curved hem in the plaid but it worked out great. Liked the pattern so much I bought a Japanese print cotton and made it up again. Great instructions and technique.

    Just finished the short-sleeve T-shirt in a cotton print. Shortened it by 1- 1/2 inches since I'm 5' 1". Turned out beautifully. I've been looking for a simple T-shirt substitute pattern in a woven fabric, and this is it.

    I made the short-sleeved version in linen, lengthened it my customary 5cm in the body, very happy with it. Will make again in other fabrics. Clear instructions also helpful.

      Joy to sew!
    Reviewed by Tami Owen on 10/24/2021
    Great pattern and quick sew! I made large size with D cup in view A, but with view B neckline. Made a wearable muslin and love it. I changed the legs of the dart to point towards my apex. I like the facings and how it is longer in the back. Next time I will lengthen it a little since I am 5’9” and try the long-sleeve version in a cotton/linen blend. I also used contrasting topstitching thread in the bobbin when I sewed the neckline facing to the shirt.

      In Love!!
    Reviewed by Gail Glaneman ( Verified Buyer) on 10/01/2021
    I am just in LOVE with this pattern! I started with a muslin, then on to a printed lawn and now a chambray. I did go up a size, for fear that it wouldn't be roomy enough, but I am going to go back down for my next try. I agree that while I typically don't like drop shoulder, this one is very flattering and comfortable. I strongly recommend this for beginner to advanced, as the possibilities here seem endless.

      Lovely to sew and lovely to wear
    Reviewed by Jenny Ladley ( Verified Buyer) on 09/29/2021
    I purchased this pattern the day before NZ went into a snap Covid-19 lock down for three weeks. It was a pleasure to sew this top while staying at home. I have made three versions of it so far. Super easy to make and the instructions are easy to follow (as always). This pattern will be a firm favorite to make and wear for years to come.

      My Dream Come True Sewing Pattern
    Reviewed by Sandra Wylie ( Verified Buyer) on 07/02/2021
    While on a trip to the UK I purchased a top similar to the one in this pattern. I wished I had bought it in every color available. When I saw this pattern I knew I had to buy it. I have made 2 so far, one of each neck style. I am now waiting for my linen delivery to make a few more. It was a pleasure to sew this pattern, totally stress free and great instructions. I also love the neck and hemline options. In my opinion there is NOTHING not to love about this pattern. Thank you for a pattern with wonderful design options including cup sizes and the great instructions

    Easy style, easy to make and very nice result. Love the different cup sizes, as with all other patterns I had to move the bust darts, other than that no alterations. True to size and simple and nice to wear.

    I love this pattern. I made the long sleeved version in cotton. Drop shoulder patterns don’t usually suit me but this one does. I really like the hem facings and the curve from front to the back hem is beautiful. My next one will be lightweight linen, short sleeves.

      Another Fun Pattern!
    Reviewed by Cindy C ( Verified Buyer) on 06/23/2021
    I knew when I first saw the photos for this pattern that I would like it. Its casual attitude fits my lifestyle, for one thing. And I had a couple fabrics in my stash that I thought would work well with it. (They did!) As a plus, it is pretty easy to sew, with so few pieces. I highly recommend this pattern.

      Verdun Top
    Reviewed by Barb ( Verified Buyer) on 06/20/2021
    I absolutely love this pattern. The first one I made was just a little too small (wishful thinking) but fit my good friend beautifully. Then I made one a size bigger with the same cup size and it fit me beautifully! I only had to raise it up a little at the shoulder seam. It was so easy to make and the neck and hem facings add a lot to the classic look. I have some plaid linen to make my next one. Then at the end of summer I'll try the long sleeved version.
