4/ 2012 #20 Lumberjack Pattern Description
polo shirt Which view and size did you make?
92 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
No If not, why?
For the life of me I could not wrap my head around the contrast placket collar instructions. Maybe I haven't made enough collared shirts or things with plackets but I had to find instructions for it somewhere else. I had to rip it out 8 times, recut the placket pieces 4 times, and for #9 I had to recut the entire front piece. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The collar instructions, obviously, but I really like the two tone contrast and how the teal peeks through brightening up a neutral shirt. Fabric used
Cotton jersey Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
- Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
I've been calling this the shirt of doom because of my problems with the collar and then my snap pliers decided to die, but I really like the slightly dressy look but casual feel to the shirt. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
