Boxy Shirt sewing pattern
Boxy Shirt sewing pattern
The Boxy Shirt is the ultimate casual button-up shirt. It has a loose, relaxed fit that is comfortable and stylish. This shirt is a classic with a lot of modern touches. The collar and button placket give it that traditional button-up shirt look, but the oversized fit, extra-large pocket, and exaggerated drop shoulder sleeves provide interest. The pattern includes cropped or extended body options, straight or rounded hem, and two pocket sizes. There are also two sleeve choices – an oversized long sleeve with faux cuffs or short dolman-style sleeves.

Usually anything cropped isn’t my style, but I love a good button up shirt. So I decided to take a chance at this pattern and boy oh boy am I glad I did! The very first one I made, I fell in love with! Not only is this pattern extremely easy to put together, but it’s quick to make as well! They’ve included a very nice size range, I am wearing a size 12 but next time I’ll go down to a size 10. (Oh yes, there will be more!) This one was made using a Robert Kaufman cotton flannel from Amazon. (Love this fabric!) The instructions are so very easy, you almost don’t need them! It goes together quickly…you can make it in a few hours! It so comfortable too! And the oversized pocket in the front is a huge style magnet! Can you tell I just LOVE this pattern?!! If you haven’t already, give it a try!
Exactly what I wanted. Made a linen mix sleeveless one 1st, then a long sleeve cotton lawn one which I legthened an 1" or so. No gaping at the bust.
I love the very shallow curve to the underarm of the cut-on sleeve - a clever idea !
I made 2 View A shirts in different colors and I just completed View B, all in light summery cottons. Perfect for our kinda hot weather at the moment. View B is a perfect Fall shirt and I just got an Italian wool knit to make another View B one.. I really appreciate how different in style this pattern is from the usual shirt patterns. So comfortable! Perfection!
Well written instructions with a great variety of graded options. I made the first one in Size 8 with pieced, salvaged kimono fabric. Went together like a breeze. I'm about to make a second one , Size 18.
