Trendy, fresh & quick to sew: your new favorite handkerchief-hem shirt! Do you know the feeling? A full closet and simply NOTHING to wear? Maybe you’re just missing a true favorite piece. Then why not sew yourself a quick handkerchief-hem shirt? It always fits and looks great. And so that YULE can accompany you all year round, it also comes with sleeve markings in 3 lengths. All you need is a great favorite fabric, your sewing machine or overlocker, and you're ready to go! :)
The pattern for this gorgeous handkerchief-hem shirt comes in 3 lengths. This way, you can whip up shirts, tunics, or dresses in no time at all. Perfect with jeans, leggings, or skirts. The hemming is done before sewing the pieces together, which is really fast.
The pattern also includes adjustment lines, where you can modify the cut according to your body shape and size. If, for example, you wear different sizes for your bust and hips, you can mark the cutting lines for the respective sizes and connect them by smoothing the lines between them with a tailor's ruler. I recommend sewing a test garment out of inexpensive fabric beforehand to check if any adjustments are necessary.
Note on the hem: In these instructions, I hem the shirt before sewing the pieces together. This is quick and creates beautiful, overlapping seams at the points, resulting in a great effect. However, if you prefer to hem the shirt the classic way after closing the side seams, that is also possible.
