with layered raw neck, wrist and hem edges this shirt is a little something different. Sewn in linen or a range of cotton weaves in order to maximize the impact of the frayed raw hems, the Raw Edge Shirt celebrates natural fibers with style.
A sister shirt to the ever popular Heron Shirt, with a lower neckline and a bit more "sass".
We use layered wrist panels to also construct the elastic wrist band and provide design features for the hem and optional mid sleeve. You have the choice of long or elbow length sleeves (and anything in between). Instructions included to easily hack this shirt to a dress.
Have some fun and celebrate something a little different.

FABRIC
Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image by clicking on it if viewing on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.
The Raw Edge Shirt is designed for light to mid-weight woven LINEN & COTTON. Shirt weight wovens are perfect to get the best gather and most effective fraying of the raw edges.
*Please also note that all (new) fabric should be pre-washed in case of shrinkage. 100% cotton & linen will shrink during the first wash. It doesn't hurt to be safe and remove any dodgy chemical build-up that may have occurred during printing anyway.

WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?
Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*
You will receive a link to download 3 different PDF files:
1. Instructions
2. Print at home Pattern Tiles (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here.
3. Large scale Pattern file (AO) for taking to your local Print Shop
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.
You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.
