Create a handmade wardrobe staple with the Closet Core Kalle Shirt + Shirtdress PDF Sewing Pattern. This versatile sewing pattern includes three modern shirt styles with interchangeable design features, making it easy to create everything from a casual cropped shirt to an everyday shirtdress.

The Kalle pattern features a relaxed, body-skimming fit with a curved back yoke, dramatic shaped hem and short dolman sleeves finished with smart arm cuffs. Choose between a cropped shirt (View A), a classic tunic-length shirt inspired by traditional menswear (View B), or a relaxed shirtdress with a stylish high-low hem (View C).

Customise your project with a standard shirt collar or band collar, an optional breast pocket, box pleat or inverted pleat back, plus your choice of a traditional button placket, popover placket or hidden button placket. Whether you're sewing a crisp cotton shirt for everyday wear or a soft linen shirtdress for summer, the Kalle pattern offers plenty of opportunities to make it your own.

Designed for intermediate sewists, this PDF sewing pattern includes layered A0, A4 and projector files, along with detailed illustrated instructions to guide you through every step.
