Buy the Unisex Shirt sewing pattern from the Modern Sewing Co. This is a classic shirt with a neat but fairly broad shoulder and a very straight torso. Instead of narrowing towards the hips like typical male shaped cuts, there is slightly more room to accommodate the wider hip of more female body shapes. Even with this adjustment, the piece remains first and foremost a men’s shirt pattern, but one that anyone can wear based on their cut preferences.

This pattern comes with three different sleeve length options to tailor it to your personal requirements, and the construction process follows classic shirt making methods.
