Steyning Shirt

Everyone needs a perennial long shirt in their wardrobe. Another classic to wear in summer in a light cotton or linen with your strappy sandals or on cooler days in a wool mix or heavier linen with slim trousers. Cut along the crop line to make it a classic shirt to layer over camisoles or t-shirts in autumn/winter or as a light layer to protect from the rays in summer.

The long versions includes handy in-seam pockets and both versions include sleeve tabs for when you want to roll up your sleeves. A box pleat detail completes the back.

About Our Patterns

Our patterns are printed on high quality paper rather than tissue paper, making them much more re-usable and less likely to tear. Patterns are packaged in a sturdy re-usable string and washer envelope and come with a clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet, along with a QR code that will take you directly to the corresponding YouTube video tutorial.

Our tutorial videos all features chapter marks, allowing you to jump directly to specific construction steps without needing to search through the video manually. They also contain useful hints and tips from the Sussex Seamstress herself. Tutorials are produced with the maker in mind, and are to-the-point and informative.

Format
