The Thomas Shirt-Hawaiian style casual shirt with open revere collar, short sleeves and a double yoke. The styling is typical of a standard men’s casual shirt. Suitable for boys and girls, the fit is generous to give comfort and a stylish loose and roomy look.
It looks great in almost any fabric. For girls you can go with gorgeous big florals or checks.
SIZES: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 to fit children from 2 to 14 years old. Always check the size chart for your correct size, chest and height measurements are the best guide. See photos for size chart.
FABRIC: Light weight woven fabrics are the most suitable poplin, lawn, homespun and similar fabrics. Also suitable very light weight denim or chambray, linen, and Fuji rayon. For ease of handling and to minimize fraying choose fabrics with a close weave e.g. poplin. Not suitable for knits.
ACCESSORIES: In addition to fabric you will also need a light weight fusing for the collar and facings and buttons for the front. The best size button to use is 10mm or 3/8”. Five to six buttons should be adequate depending on the size you are making.
EXPERIENCE: you will need to have intermediate to advanced sewing skills to make this shirt. The shirt requires plain sewing only with neat and accurate seaming. There is a double, bagged out yoke and buttonholes. Follow the sewing tutorial closely to learn how to make the shirt and to be sure to sew everything in the correct sequence.
