Sewing a ladies' shirt – What makes Sedona special?
Sedona is an all-around figure-flattering, brilliantly fitting basic shirt, made to help small problem areas disappear. On top of that, it is incredibly versatile and goes with any style from elegant to nautical quite casually.
And because the shirt is so flattering, you can get it in sizes 34 - 60.
The wonderful red-and-white striped summer sweat* had to come along during my last shopping trip at Stoffe Hemmers. :)

How is Sedona cut?
The shirt hangs nice and loose over the hips. The front piece is slightly shorter and flatters your hips with its gently upward-rounded hem. The back piece is cut slightly longer and covers the bottom with its rounded hem.
The implied boat neckline is slightly flattened and medium-wide.
The sleeves also sit nice and loose. They are therefore ideal for larger arms as well.
I discovered the curry-colored French Terry* at Stoffe-Hemmers.
The skirt is made of black-and-white striped viscose jersey*.
The wonderful Michaela from himmelblau + erbsengrün sewed Sedona in a colorful floral print. WOW!
What is included in the eBook?
The eBook includes several clothing sizes, each with all pattern pieces in original size.
Of course, the eBook also includes a layout plan that helps you assemble the pattern correctly.
Furthermore, the illustrated sewing instructions are designed to be beginner-friendly and describe all steps in great detail.
Would you like to have the pattern plotted?
No problem! The eBook also contains the pattern as an A0 file. You can send this to a plotter service of your choice and receive your pattern fully prepared for cutting in just a few days.
You can also load the A0 file onto a USB stick and have it printed at a copy shop.
Can you also vary the sleeves?
You can sew Sedona as you like with sleeve cuffs, a turned-up hem, or a rolled hem. The shirt is also brilliant with shorter sleeves. I sewed the shirt in the photo with 3/4 sleeves and a 2 cm wide hem.
What kind of material can you use to sew the Sedona ladies' shirt?
You can sew Sedona from all stretchy fabrics. Ideal are sweat*, French Terry (summer sweat)*, jersey*, viscose jersey*, knit fabrics*, slub jersey*, nicky*, panne velvet*, stretchy velour fabric*, modal fabric*, and much more.
If you want to sew Sedona from a bulky fabric, e.g., the great waffle jerseys, you should possibly sew the shirt in the next size up.
I got the lovely grey quilted jersey from the fabric market.
But there is also a wonderful quilted sweat fabric* in great colors at Stoffe Hemmers, which is right at the top of my to-do list...
Which size is the right one?
You can easily determine the right size for you with the help of our measurement chart.

You can also measure a favorite, well-fitting shirt. You can find the measurements of the finished shirt in this table:
Nautical* always works, right? I also have it in blue-mottled with a floral print* - I'm already looking forward to the next shirt! :)
How much fabric is needed for which size?
How is the neck binding sewn?
For the neck binding, I have a pattern template in the respective size. It is cut without seam allowance. It is recommended to topstitch the seam allowance of the neckband from the right side with a twin needle.
The template for the neck binding is just a suggestion. You can also finish the neck binding with a wider strip. Depending on the stretchiness of the chosen fabric, you should ensure before sewing it on that the neck binding is not too long.
