I made this shirt To test out some new skills -fading double pocket with a layer of vinyl It's very difficult to sew with the vinyl but for a first try I think it went well.

This is a good link rich answer I found today wile googling a patten I was interested in.
This patten is kind of on my ‘wish list’ because Violetta Nu’s most worn outfit (it’s in R1 and R2) involves a ruffle shirt with contrast black sides , and this not only has the ruffle but seems to have seams in the right to place to effortless add in those side panels . (But this is all for future after iv finished the outfit I’m working on for Violetta at the mo , I would like to make others and get more uses out of the wig ) anyway as its for future I’m not willing to pay full price for it , it’s bound to be sold off cheaper when they change the patten book , it’s one of the most expensive right now . The info here might lead to an attempt to draft a patten from scratch …. See how much time and courage I have when I get round to it . - Asha
"Three other resources for you: Pam Erny’s blog — she’s a professional custom shirtmaker, but I don’t believe she’s ever demonstrated the placket I use (it’s from Connie Crawford’s Patternmaking Made Easy, which I also recommend highly) http://off-the-cuff-style.blogspot.com/
David Coffin’s Shirtmaking — http://www.amazon.com/Shirtmaking-Developing-Skills-Fine-Sewing/dp/1561582646 — though he often chooses the most laborious techniques possible, there’s also a good section in there on Margaret Islander’s “burrito technique” for yokes. http://malepatternboldness.blogspot.com/2011/02/mens-shirt-sew-along-12-new-collar-for.html And there’s Islander’s Shirts video, which is very useful: http://www.worldcat.org/title/shirts-etc/oclc/22915729&referer=brief_results on VHS or http://www.worldcat.org/title/industrial-shortcuts-ii-shirts-etc/oclc/244118580&referer=brief_results All of these should be available on interlibrary loan if the library doesn’t own them.
FWIW, I prefer Burda or KwikSew for men’s shirt patterns, or take a pattern off a shirt you love.”
