Harrison Shirt 12-32 PDF pattern

Love this Shirt

I have made 3 already, and I love this pattern. Note: This was my first button-up shirt, and I found the instructions to be wonderful. I have since made the Haskel and the Vernon as well. The Harrison has an amazing shape and a flattering fit (though I also loved the others). It is truly a no-gap shirt. I made one out of vintage linens. Somehow I don't have a picture of me wearing it...but it looks cute on my sewing chair.

Very clear and easy to follow pattern

As someone with reading comprehension issues this pattern was amazing. Detailed diagrams for each step helped SO much. The pattern is very clear and easy to understand. It was also very easy to modify due to the grid behind the pattern. Excellent pattern and I will be buying more.

Officially a Cashmerette Addict

I've made quite a few button down shirts over the years, and Cashmerette's patterns (both this one and Vernon) are hands down my favorite — even with no adjustments, my first Harrison fit better than anything I've previously made or found in a shop. I have to make more, because I can no longer stand all the gaping buttons and bunching underarms on the shirts still lingering in my closet. I did find I needed to raise the armscye quite a bit — this is a very common pattern adjustment for me and I'm surprised not to find it among any of the adjustment tutorials on this wonderful site. If anyone out there has the "arms can't move" problem where the sleeve is pulling at the biceps when the arms are raised, this is usually the adjustment that needs to happen. I made a second shirt with this adjustment and it fits much better. It was a bit awkward to do with the three front pieces, but absolutely worth it. I also found the neckline is cut oddly high in the front, but not enough that I've bothered to alter anything. Between this one and Vernon, I think I slightly prefer Vernon, especially if you want to do anything that would want pattern matching. Vernon is also better for French seams, which I prefer, versus Harrison's princess seams really want to be either flat felled or overlocked. But this is still an excellent shirt. If you're a C cup or above, this is eons better than any of the big name patterns out there.
