This is a free sewing pattern for a military-style shirt, a popular design frequently used in cosplay costumes and also suitable for stylish everyday wear. The pattern features a sharp, slightly angled collar, and both the front and back bodice are divided into upper and lower sections to create a clean, structured silhouette.
Seam allowances (S/A) are already included in the pattern, allowing you to use it immediately after printing and assembling the sheets. This sewing project is recommended for intermediate-level sewists, as it requires accurate stitching and careful handling of details.
Suitable fabrics for this military shirt sewing pattern include cotton twill, poplin, and lightweight denim, which help achieve a crisp and professional finish. The finished garment works well as a cosplay outfit, themed uniform, or casual outerwear for daily wear or going out.
After printing, align the pages along the join lines, tape or glue them together, and cut out each pattern piece. No additional seam allowance is required, making this pattern easy to prepare and ready to sew.
(1) Prepare the "Flap", "Pocket", "Epaulette", and sleeve tabs in advance.
* Finish the buttonholes for the "Flap", "Epaulette", and sleeve tabs at this stage.
(2) Serge the shoulder and side seams of both the upper and lower sections of the front and back "Body".
How to Serge / Finish seam allowances
(3) Attach the "Pocket" to the front body. When joining the upper and lower sections of the front body, sandwich the "Flap" between them and serge the seam.
* After joining, press the seam allowance upward and secure it with topstitching.
(4) Sew the upper and lower sections of the back body together. Serge the seam allowance, press it downward, and secure with stitching.
(5) Sew the shoulders and side seams of the front and back body together.
(6) Apply fusible interlining to the "Collar", "Collar Stand", and "Facing".
(7) With right sides together, sew the "Collar" and "Collar Stand", leaving the collar stand opening. Turn right side out and press with an iron.
(8) Insert the "Collar" into the "Collar Stand", sew them together, turn right side out, and secure with topstitching.
* Start sewing with a 1cm seam allowance left open on the body side of the collar stand. Pre-pressing this fold with an iron will make the process easier.
(9) Finish the outer edge of the "Facing" with serging.
(10) Sew the "Facing" to the "Body".
(11) Insert the "Collar Stand" into the neckline of the "Body" and sew with a sewing machine.
(12) Attach the sleeve tabs ("Epaulette") to the "Sleeve".
(13) Serge the sleeve side seams, sew them together, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.
(14) Sew the side seams of the "Cuffs", fold the seam allowance inward by 1cm, and prepare them for attachment.
(15) Attach the "Cuffs" to the hem of the "Sleeve" by sandwiching and sewing.
(16) When attaching the "Sleeve" to the "Body", insert the "Epaulette" and sew together, then finish the seam allowance with serging.
(17) Serge the hem of the "Body", fold it up by 1cm, and sew with a sewing machine.
(18) Make buttonholes and sew on the buttons.
