Cornelius Western Shirt

Love this shirt and pattern!

This is only my second garment, and while this pattern had lots of components, I found the instructions to be very clear and precise with excellent drawings that made construction pretty straightforward. Would definitely choose another closet core pattern!

Beautiful details!

This is one of my first intermediate patterns, and I learned so much! The instructions are clear and detailed. I also love the details of the design! My finished shirt is so cool and professional looking. I definitely recommend this pattern :)

What a winner! Thoroughly recommend the Cornelius Western Shirt pattern

The Cornelius Western Shirt pattern was my first from Closet Core, my first ever shirt, and my first collar with a stand. It was a beautiful sew and I'll make another. Great drafting, crystal clear instructions, with lots of inspiration from videos and blogs to personalise the shirt. I did a straight shirt - no darts, piping or in-your-face topstitching - to start with. Just a bit of grading between sizes around the belly. Fits perfectly and is very comfy to wear. Make #2 will be the party version -- with piping and hand embroidered yokes. The only issue that would make our lives easier is for less ease on the sleeve head please. Yes, we can use gathers, but why bother if you can do without? Love, love, love this pattern. Just the ease please!
