The Hey June Handmade Amherst is a camp style shirt with cargo styling and offers lots of classic features.
The Amherst is a lovely short sleeved shirt with classic cargo styling. The constructions details make it extra special: a button down stand collar, back yoke with pleat, integrated cuff with sleeve tab, interchangeable square or rounded patch pockets with pocket flaps and a curved shirt tail hem.
We have paired this classic pattern with 2 colour options of a sumptuously soft light weight Tencel denim fabric - light washed or indigo, for the ultimate, everyday wearable denim shirt look.
This fabric requires a bit more confidence and or experience to work with, but is definitely worth it - it feels amazing to wear!
The pattern is available in sizes 0-24, bust 33"-52".

The video has over 50 minutes of footage, sectioned out with time stamps/chapters for easy reference and navigation. The key construction steps are covered, including how work with slippery fabric like this tencel, how to get a neat finish on your garment and how to apply pearl snaps instead of buttons.

This pattern is aimed at the 'Intermediate' level. This most tricky part is constructing the collar and collar stand.
