The Unisex Shirt is a classic men’s shirt that has been slightly modified to accommodate the curves of a female body. It sits broader on the shoulder than the Classic Shirt and generally has a leaner silhouette.   

Here at the Modern Sewing Co. we love shirt making. Once you've learnt the techniques to a high standard you can apply them again and again.

Skill Level

Suitable for Intermediate sewers. This piece is constructed almost identically to the Over Shirt which is why the Art of Shirt Making workshop is a great option.

Construction techniques: Classic collar & collar stand, placket & cuffs, double shoulder yoke, run & fell seam, inserting sleeve head with ease, patch pockets & standard hem.

Sizing & Fit

Mens sizes XS2 - XL3 / Women's sizes 4 - 20 (with PDF Layers)

This is a classic style shirt with a neat but fairly broad shoulder and a very straight torso. Instead of narrowing towards the hips like typically male shaped cuts, there is slightly more room to accommodate the wider hip of more female body shapes. This pattern comes with 3 different sleeve length options.
