Beautiful shirt with 4 sleeve options

I was a pattern tester for the @experimentalspace Hailey Shirt. It has options for sleeveless, 3/4 sleeve, frill and butterfly sleeves.  As well as optional shaping darts to make it as loose fitting or more shaped as you prefer.

I made a 3/4 sleeve using a check flannel and sleeveless version using a rayon, both fabrics from my stash.

I thoroughly enjoyed making both of these, the instructions are clear as always and the insides are finished beautifully with flat fell / French seams. I did bust out my overlocker when inserting the  3/4 sleeves, the fabric was too think to consider binding the seams, but there are instructions to that if you wish.

I even did my first ever FBA on the sleeveless version, in size Cee and am really happy with the resulting fit. The blue/black flannel was a Cee across the shoulder graded to a Dee at the bust and hip.

I’ll definitely be making a few more of these

There are plenty of skills to be learned from this pattern’s clear instructions:  yokes, pleats, button bands, collars and collar stands
