Hello readers!
We’re excited to announce that we’ve planned a month of posts focused on Shirtmaking for the month of November on the CSC!
We wanted to give you a heads up in case you might want to gather patterns and materials to sew along with us to make your own shirt next month. Shirtmaking was one of our poll requests that readers wanted to learn more about and we’ve been working towards fulfilling the needs of our community.
Here’s what to look forward to during Shirtmaking Month on the CSC:
- Shirtmaking tips and tricks
- Shirt pattern roundup
- Shirt pattern reviews
- Shirtmaking tutorials
- Shirt pattern hacks
- Inspiration!

I always regretted not having a degree so I went back to school a few years ago. I’ll finish in March of 2017 when I’m 61! Everything I love has been on hold, including sewing! I’m going to participate in this shirtmaking challenge even though I won’t be able to put my heart into it! If I have to completely miss this, though, it will smother my soul!!!
Perfect timing. I’m keen to do my first shirt.
I am fairly new to sewing, and also brand new to your website (I just found it!), so I am super excited that I have come just in time for shirt-making month! I am super keen to learn some new skills.
Yeah! I received my Harrison shirt pattern recently and will save sewing it until November. I am SO happy I found this website! It’s made sewing so much more fun to find patterns that are so lovely and such a great group of women.
Excellent! I have two Harrison shirts currently in construction so I am looking forward to the ideas of creating different sleeves, etc – we are coming into summer so I have a mind to make this sleeveless and I wonder what it would look like with a cold shoulder adaptation?
Ooooh!!! Perfect timing!! I desperately want to start on my Harrison shirt but I really really need to finish up Halloween costumes first. This will give me the will power to wait. 🙂
I’m looking forward to this month – after a lifetime of shirts that fit on the chest but no place else or gappy chested shirts held together with safety pins inside. I’ve recently taken to sewing them closed-shut rendering the buttons as decorations and turning getting dressed into a lot of wiggly and muttering.
Perfect timing!! Can’t wait to get started.
super duper I am just about to start a connie crawford shirt. but will be following this chat.
Which pattern did you choose? I’m waiting for her Jan 2017 shirt.Mid tone chambray,; duster-tunic length. Shirt-jacks work better here then classic jean jackets in our foggy micro-climate.
Lusting after the Harrison too. Jenny’s well-designed, double princess seams fit-look great in the end-of-month pattern roundups. Works for wide shoulders, and easy to lengthen. If a friend’s experience is a given, Coni’s January shirt design can be modified to fit my Big&Tall friend as well..
Shirts are relaxing to construct. Fit the design, trace the, modifications onto heavy paper for future use,,cut fabric and S.E.W.! Soothing, and ending in a RTW make. Only better.
Where do I find a list of patterns for shirt making month?
There will be a pattern roundup in November when we begin our posts for Shirtmaking Month.
Great! I was just about to start the Harrison shirt muslin as soon as I’m finished with my son’s Superman costume.
I should be just ready by November to jump into the Harrison course and pattern. I’m excited to take on this challenge!
