Is this a good first men’s shirt sewing pattern?
Yes, this can be a good first men’s shirt pattern for a confident beginner or intermediate sewer. The relaxed fit makes it more forgiving than a fitted dress shirt, and the written instructions, illustrated steps and video tutorials help you work through the process one step at a time.
