Customer Reviews
I purchased the Jenna pattern only a month ago but I have already sewn up all 3 versions and I have to say they are some of my most favourite makes ever. The fit of the shirt is just right, finding that sweet spot between too oversized and too close and the instructions guide you through attaching the collar pieces so that you can get a really professional finish. I would highly recommend this pattern to anyone wanting to make their own shirts.
The Jenna shirt pattern and the companion "Learn to Sew Button Up Shirts" course are a fabulous combination that are lovingly engineered for success. I'm so delighted with the results and with how much I learned from the videos. Heather and team are a joy to learn from! Thank you so much.
After trying a different pattern company’s slightly boxy shirt, I was thrilled to make this one up. Everything about it is just right. The finer details (sleeve vent and yoke loop) make this a very special pattern. Instructions were excellent, as always with Closet Core patterns, and finished measurements were spot on. It’s a classic! I have made 2 already, and will definitely use this pattern often.
J’ai adoré faire ce patron qui ne sera pas le dernier ! Et j’ai surtout beaucoup appris en le faisant
Easy pattern to follow and really happy with my new cropped shirt!,
