PDF SEWING PATTERN | Ellsworth Shirt | Merchant & Mills | UK 18–28

Skill Level: Intermediate
Sizes: UK 18–28
Language: English only

The Ellsworth Shirt PDF sewing pattern by Merchant & Mills is an oversized, boxy shirt with a dropped back hem and half button placket. Its generous proportions create an easy, swingy silhouette designed for exceptional comfort and effortless everyday wear.

Ellsworth works beautifully in lightweight woven fabrics such as linen, cotton poplin, chambray, double gauze and Tencel. Avoid fabrics that are too heavy, as the longer back can pull the garment backwards and make the neckline uncomfortable.

Looking for UK sizes 6–18? The Ellsworth Shirt PDF Sewing Pattern is also available in the standard size range.

All seam allowances are 1.5 cm (⅝") unless otherwise stated.
