Buy the Weekday Shirt sewing pattern from Les Perlines. This is Les Perlines' take on the classic button-up shirt, with an effortless, cool-girl feel. Designed with an easy-to-sew camp collar proportioned to mimic the look of an open shirt neckline, Weekday is perfect for those wanting a classic shirt silhouette without the complicated sewing techniques. While the back yoke and classic box pleat ensure a good fit and movement, the oversized boyfriend fit and dropped shoulder create that 'casual but put together' look. The pattern includes two lengths: hip-length with a curved hem or cropped with a straight hem. There are also two sleeve options: an easy straight short sleeve or a long sleeve with the crowd favourite tulip cuff from the Midway Jacket!
