Maison Fauve Almost Shirt

Buy the Almost Shirt sewing pattern from Maison Fauve. The little summer blouse that goes with everything, is easy to sew, and beautifully finished – this is it! The Almost pattern takes inspiration from classic men's shirts, with its straight cut, soft collar, and cuffed sleeve hems. But the volume, length, and shaping darts transform it into a truly charming blouse that will quickly become a staple in your handmade wardrobe. And if you're after a more pared back look, you can also sew a collarless version.

Sewing level: Intermediate

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following format:
