Jensen Shirt sewing pattern
Jensen Shirt PDF sewing pattern
The Jensen Shirt is the quintessential men’s button-up shirt with all the traditional details. This shirt features a button placket, classic collar, cuffed sleeves, and a back yoke. The relaxed fit is comfortable but not so loose that it looks messy and unkempt. The lightly curved hem that is slightly longer in the back adds to the easygoing feel of the shirt. Customize your Jensen Shirt by choosing between short and long sleeves, a pleated or unpleated back, and two different collar options: a traditional pointed collar or a simple band collar.
Men's sizes 2XS-4XL

I’ve just made a toile of this shirt (made from a duvet cover). My first shirt and I’ve been sewing for years. I watched the YouTube first and it was fantastic - would highly recommend. Five stars I’d say!
This was the first men's shirt I have sewn - I found the written and youtube instructions together very comprehensive and helpful. The seams inside look very tidy and professional (despite my beginner ways). I'll definitely be making more!
The only thing I noticed was that the sizing is quite different to ready to wear and I had to be careful when measuring and choosing a size.
This is just what we were looking for! Love the classic style and excellent drafting! Just when I submitted a review asking for more inclusive sizing…hours later it is done! Perfect!
Loved the fit of the tropical shirt, and my son wanted a more dressy version. This one checks all the boxes except the sizing could be more inclusive. For us, it was totally worth a little grading.
Hello! I just made my second shirt for dear husband and 1. have learned so much and 2. had such fun and 3. he‘s planning on wearing it! Win win win all around!
