Sewing Pattern FRED: The Versatile Men's Shirt
With the FRED sewing pattern, you can sew a unique men's shirt out of jersey. This design offers you endless possibilities for styling, depending on your own taste and creativity. Whether you keep it simple with one fabric or go colorful by combining multiple fabrics – the FRED shirt will always be a real eye-catcher.
Creative Variety with Shirt FRED
What makes FRED special is the freedom it gives you when combining fabrics:
- Sew the shirt from one fabric for a simple look that remains exciting thanks to the striking center seam and the varying lengths.
- Combine two fabrics to design the front and back differently.
- Use up to six different fabrics to give your shirt an individual touch.
Perfect for Using Up Fabric Scraps
FRED is ideal for making good use of your jersey scraps. Even small pieces of fabric can be incorporated, making your shirt a true one-of-a-kind piece. A small remnant of nice jersey is often enough to design a quarter of the shirt.

What to Keep in Mind When Cutting

Size and Fit: How FRED Sits Perfectly
FRED has a loose cut and offers a comfortable fit. To determine the right size, refer to our charts. You can also compare a well-fitting T-shirt with the measurements in the finished garment size chart. We recommend sewing a test garment first to adjust the fit individually if necessary.
