Donny Shirt Beginner

Elevate your everyday style with the Donny Shirt by Friday Pattern Co., the ultimate "cool and casual" top that looks just as good at the office as it does at Sunday brunch. Featuring a classic lapel collar, a breezy boxy fit, and a flattering cropped length, this shirt is designed to be a versatile staple you’ll reach for again and again. It is the perfect introduction to garment construction for those ready to move beyond basic accessories and start building a handmade wardrobe that feels both modern and effortless.
This workshop is a fantastic journey for the confident beginner, breaking down the construction process into manageable, stress-free steps. We will focus on building "Collar Confidence" by learning the "bagging out" method to achieve a crisp, professional lapel. You will also master the art of clean facings for a polished interior and explore how different fabric choices—from structured linens to fluid rayons—can completely transform the drape and personality of your finished garment.
The Donny Shirt pattern is included in your class fee, so you can jump right into the creative process. During our session, we will tackle the technical "heavy lifting," specifically focusing on the collar and front assembly to ensure you have a solid foundation. You’ll head home with the momentum and expert knowledge needed to finish your hems and final details at your own pace, confident in your new skills and your stylish new shirt!
