PATTERN AND INSTRUCTIONS: the Presley Shirt by Collin Riley
🕑 Added 2021-03-15 16:27:18 +0000 UTCEdit 3/29: Hi patrons! I just uploaded new files to this post to correct two minor errors/typos. No need to reprint anything! I corrected an error in the yardage chart (45" fabric for sizes XL-4X meter amount was incorrect; should read 2.8 m) and corrected the size key on the pattern files.
Surprise! Meet the Presley Shirt, our very first menswear pattern AND our very first guest designer project. I'm thrilled to welcome Collin Riley to the Charm gang with his first pattern for us, the Presley Shirt. This rockabilly button-down shirt was designed with the masculine folks in your life in mind (who wants matching couple-y outfits? I know you do!) but it's also a great unisex design that works for all sorts of people (I even made one for myself). We've devised a new size chart with XS-4X sizes so please check the instructions for details.
Collin himself will show you how to make the shirt in the separate video post. Earn your menswear badge while learning how to pipe a yoke, sew a sleeve band, craft a beautiful collar, and more. And yes! Not only are you getting this additional pattern, you're also receiving a BONUS menswear badge next month. The Presley Shirt will remain in the Patreon library, and it's a special gift to you this month as a thank you for your support. As this is our first foray into menswear, we'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
xoxo,
Gertie
P.S. Stay tuned to my social media to see other folks wearing this design! We had some fabulous testers help us out on this one.

You can! The piping is entirely optional

DOes anyone know if I can make the yoke version without piping ?
This pattern is looking fantastic. I ordered fabric and started working on the pattern today. We will see how this turns out. This will be a challenge to fit on my hubby. I love how you can play around with designs. Could make a super fancy shirt made out of satins or silk or cool pj's . I want to make a family shirt for everyone in my family with monograms and such. Hope you make more menswear but also a girls pattern someday
