Hey June Handmade Amherst Shirt

Buy the Amherst Shirt sewing pattern from Hey June Handmade. The Amherst Shirt is a lightweight blouse with cargo styling. The sleeve cuffs are integrated into the pattern so the wrong side of the fabric does not show. Choose from optional sleeve tabs and squared or rounded pockets with or without squared or rounded pocket flaps. The back has a small pleat at the centre for added detail. A separate FBA front piece for a D sewing cup is included. Half tuck the Amherst into skinny jeans with a cute belt and flats for a laidback, casual outfit.
