Fibre Mood - LIBBIE & LOGAN & LYDIA & LENA & LEE Shirt Sewing Pattern

LIBBIE. A comfy basic with straight sleeves, two pleats at the bottom and angular wrist cuffs that add a classy and feminine touch. The rounded hem and movement pleat in the middle back create a flowing effect. Would you prefer it more fitted? Then add an extra button placket between the button placket and an extra button at the waist. Libbie is your go-to shirt that you can endlessly customise and reinvent.

LOGAN is a variation on Libbie, with a straight hem, side slits and wide sleeves that elegantly gather at a cuffed wristband. The bow ribbon between the button patches is the absolute eye-catcher of this classic shirt with a contemporary wink: roll up the button patches over the ribbon and tie it with the additional bow ribbon incorporated in the left side seam. Mix and match with fabrics, prints and textures to conjure up your unique statement shirt.

LYDIA is a short, fresh variation on Libbie. The chest pocket hangs casually over the straight hem, giving the shirt a casual, cool look. The straight sleeves with two pleats at the bottom and the wrist cuff with the same finish as the chest pocket complete the look. Perfect for a breezy, cropped effect and easy to pair with high-waist trousers or skirts.

LENA is a quirky take on Libbie. The difference is in the sleeve and wrist cuffs: you tie the sleeve up with two twill ribbons and D-rings. The front and back panels have a rounded hem, while the sleeves are straight and wide, without pleats. In short: a sturdy and stylish shirt that dares to be just that little bit different.

LEE is a variation on Libbie, but with a back slit instead of a movement pleat, making for a surprisingly airy detail. The deep slit makes Lee perfect for warm late summer days or to wear over a pretty top or bralette. Combine comfort with elegance and experiment with different fabrics for a different effect every time.
