The Ellsworth — Merchant and Mills

Available from Wool Friends when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

An oversized, boxy shirt sewing pattern with a dropped back hem and half placket. Swingy and absurdly comfortable. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated. Skill level - intermediate. Fabric suggestions - 3-6oz linen, cotton poplin, cotton lawn, cotton double gauze, Indian handlooms, cotton chambray, Tencel, hemp/cotton blends. Do not choose anything too heavy, as the back is lower than the front it will pull down making it uncomfortable at the neck! Merchant and Mills patterns are
