We all know the classic chemise design: A body rectangle, perhaps some hem flare, two rectangles for sleeves, underarm gussets…

Here is something a little different.

Still made with rectangles and triangles for material efficiency, but with a little twist. This design features a flared body with long, continuous rectangles crossing the chest to make the sleeves and triangular gores at the shoulders. The silhouette is off the shoulder and slim through the body.

Pattern is actual size. Each square is one inch.

T shirts are perhaps the most ubiquitous of all garments. They’re comfortable, in more ways than one.

This pattern combines the relaxed comfort and easy styling of a T shirt with the beauty of insertion lace gowns of the early twentieth century.

The shirt itself is oversized and uses straight lines to accommodate any number of seam finishes. The lace pattern from the accompanying video is laid out on the pattern, but if using the insertion technique from the video lace of any size can be added in any arrangement.

Pattern is actual size, and does not include seam or hem allowance. Each square is one inch.
