€28

A women's cropped shirt sewing pattern PDF in EU sizes 36–46 — asymmetric hemline with a shorter front and longer back, two symmetrical chest pockets, standing collar with a bias-bound inner edge. The double pockets are a functional design decision: the layered fabric in the chest area makes lightweight and semi-sheer fabrics wearable without compromise. Clean lines, no unnecessary closures.

We designed this shirt for those who want to wear light fabrics without compromise. The double chest pockets are a construction decision first, and an aesthetic one second: the layered fabric in the chest area solves the opacity problem that stops most people from using sheer or lightweight materials in a shirt.

Why this pattern will become your favorite:

A Detail That Solves a Problem: Two symmetrical chest pockets create a double layer of fabric exactly where it matters. Batiste, lightweight linen, fine chambray — materials that would otherwise require lining are now straightforward choices for this pattern.
A Modern Proportion: The asymmetric hemline — shorter at the front, longer at the back — creates a silhouette that works cleanly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The length is intentional, not incidental.
Precise and Minimal: A standing collar with a bias-bound inner edge, simplified sleeve construction, a clean front placket. Nothing extra. The shirt looks architectural because the details are resolved, not accumulated.

Thanks to the double pockets, you can use both standard shirtings and finer materials:

Shirt Cotton (Poplin / Oxford): A classic choice that holds the collar shape perfectly.
Fine Fabrics (Batiste / Lightweight Linen): The pockets allow these materials to be used without compromising privacy.
Denim or Chambray: Gives the shirt a modern utility look.
Baby Cord: The dense texture beautifully highlights the architectural cut of the model.
