Review on πŸ‘• Simplicity U06197A Easy to Sew Misses' and Men's Button-Up Shirt Sewing Patterns Kit: New Look for Sizes XS-XL - Code 6197 by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Instructions are rubbish but overall great pattern

Made Look A after Peter Lappin's camping shirt class. The pattern is excellent, fits well, the cut is excellent. Just ignore the instructions. Collar instructions are mostly incomprehensible when written that way, so watch some videos and do it, don't even try to interpret the instructions. The shoulder cuts too easily (about an inch and a half) so be prepared to ignore some of the nicks and re-pin them a few times. There is no inner yoke, but you can probably improvise by turning part of the yoke inside out and trimming off the excess. Overall a satisfying experience but not the best first try - but you should be fine if you can safely make a big bag and want to take the next step in trouble.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

Great pattern. I prefer this over a more authentic (so they say) version of an ahola shirt.
