This is a basic and simple sewing pattern for a classic pintuck shirt.
The shirt front has three narrow pintucks on each side, left and right. Each pintuck is 5 mm wide, giving the design a clean and classic look.
You may also stop the pintucks partway down instead of sewing them all the way to the hem. This creates a different design effect.
This pattern is versatile and can be used for everyday wear, costumes, or original fashion designs.
After printing, align the join lines, tape the pattern pieces together, and cut them out. Seam allowances are already included, so the pattern is ready to use as is.
(1) Fold the pintuck folds of the "Front Body" and "Back Body" with an iron, sew the pintucks, and press them outward with an iron.
(2) Serge the shoulders and side seams of the "Front Body" and "Back Body", sew them together with a sewing machine, and press the seam allowances open with an iron.
(3) Apply fusible interfacing to the "Collar", "Front Facing", "Back Facing", and "Cuffs".
(4) Sew the "Collar" pieces together, turn inside out, and press with an iron to shape.
(5) Sew the "Front Facing" and "Back Facing" together, press the seam allowances open with an iron, and serge the outer edges.
(6) Sandwich the "Collar" between the "Facing" and the "Body", then sew them together.
