Tropicana Shirt PDF sewing pattern
The Tropicana Shirt brings effortless summer vibes with its loose, casual fit and adorable partial-length raglan sleeves. This versatile shirt can be worn buttoned up all on its own or open as a casual overshirt. The convertible collar gives the shirt a cool notched collar look when worn open, or it can be buttoned up for a more structured feel. Sweet details such as side slits, sleeve cuff slits, and a chest pocket bring the look together. The pattern includes options for ½ or ¾ length sleeves and a rounded or squared collar and pocket.
