PATTERN REVIEW: OTTOBRE #3/2020; SHIRT 16 V2 and 3

 

The pattern

Shirt with cut on sleeves. Contrasting neckbinding, sleeve cuffs and pocket. 

Additional info:

• 92-128 (EU) - 18 m - 8yo. I will make size 98 and 128
• Recommended Fabrics : Jersey knits
  
• Rated 1/3
  
• Ottobre magazine #3/2020. From their site

The fabric

• 0,5 meter jersey (size 128)
• 0,5 meter jersey (size 98) from babystofjes.nl

Cutting the fabric.

Front and back are one piece. Great for prints. and quick sews. I omitted the pocket, but did use the sleeve binding this time. 

Instructions:

They don't give measurements or pattern pieces for the neckbinding. Instead they refer to a general informational piece telling you to measure the neck-opening, multiply it by between 0,85...0,95 and do a testpiece. If you sew a lot of shirts, it is nice to know how to measure a neckbinding yourself (and how much to stretch different fabrics), but the beginning sewists would rather just want the measurements without doing the math or testing it themselfs. 

Fit:

As expected

Conclusion:
My go to pattern for nice jersey prints.
