ANN RINGSTRAND • Fine Shirt Sewing Pattern • NEW
Printed sewing pattern • Sizes XS–XL • Skill level: Intermediate
The Fine Shirt Sewing Pattern by Ann Ringstrand is a modern, tailored shirt designed with a clean, fitted silhouette. Inspired by a return to more refined, classic shapes, this design offers a contemporary alternative to oversized styles, making it a versatile addition to a modern handmade wardrobe.
With its straight side seams and minimal detailing, the shirt has a subtly unisex feel while maintaining a flattering, structured fit. The absence of bust darts creates a clean line through the body, while the slightly deeper cuff and thoughtfully placed button add a refined, design-led finish.
This is a shirt that works effortlessly across styling options — pairing just as well with wide leg trousers as it does with more fitted silhouettes.
Perfect for:
- Modern, fitted shirts with a clean silhouette
- Sewists looking to create tailored wardrobe staples
- Lightweight shirting fabrics with structure or drape
- Layering pieces or shirt-style jackets
Skill level • Intermediate
Pattern details:
- Printed full-scale paper pattern (1:1)
- Sizes XS–XL (women’s sizing)
- Fitted, straight silhouette with clean lines
- No bust darts for a modern, minimal finish
- Includes sewing and cutting instructions (English)
Suggested fabrics: This pattern works well in a range of light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as:
- Cotton shirting and poplin
- Linen and linen blends
- Tencel and viscose blends
- Lightweight cotton twill or wool blends (for a shirt-jacket style)
Fabric choice will influence the final look — crisp cottons create a more structured shirt, while softer fabrics offer a more relaxed, fluid feel.

Sewing tips:
- Choose fabric based on your desired finish — structured for a classic shirt, softer for a more relaxed style
- Take time with collar and cuff construction for a polished result
- Press carefully throughout for a clean, tailored finish
Why we recommend this pattern: The Fine Shirt is a beautifully considered design that balances classic tailoring with a modern, minimal aesthetic. It’s a versatile pattern that will work across seasons and styling choices.
