I have just made this shirt up n was amazed first up, how easy the instructions were to follow.
A lot of patterns you feel like they are written in another language! So difficult to interpret how it is to go.
2nd point I would like to make is the shirt fits like a glove n most of all allows you to function without some part pulling or buttons gaping at front.
Absolutely delighted with this pattern.
So lovely to have a t shirt that fits me, rather than being a shapeless garment - I found the crew neck a little high for my tastes and the scoop a little low, but it was very easy to amend to my own personal preference. Instructions were clear and made for a very easy sew.
Excellent pattern. I just have to learn to petite it properly. The version I made was too long on me and made me look dumpy. I cut off the curved part at the bottom and just hemmed it straight and then it looked and fit great. Good basic pattern that I'll make again and again.
I made the Concord shirt, along with some Belmont leggings, as my first me-made outfit. I had never sewn garments or with a pattern before. The Concord pattern has so many different options for sleeve length, neckbands, and hem length, that this may be the only t-shirt pattern I ever need! I chose to go with short sleeves, the scoop neck, and the curved hem length. For a beginner, it was imperative that I trace which pattern lines I wanted to follow, because with so many options, it would have been easy to get confused. I really struggled attaching the neckband, but I really believe that can be chalked up to me being a beginner. I was able to hide a bit of my mistake at the back of the neckband, and I don't think it's really noticeable to anyone except me.
Overall the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I'm already excited about what other versions of this shirt I can make!
This was my first shirt pattern. The booklet instructions are very detailed and are easy to follow. The only part I had trouble understanding was the neckband, but I looked up how to put the neckband in on YouTube. After that I finished the shirt in an hour.
I like this pattern because if gives you multiple modifications. You get, like, eleven shirt pattern out of this. I like that it gives two bust options.
Overall a great, simple shirt pattern for a person on any skill level.
