Today I'm more than thrilled to share another completely original and utterly fabulous tutorial from Stephanie of The Crafty Kitty! Stephanie shows us how to put together this boy's collared shirt, and the best part is that the back is paper-pieced with an adorable snow-capped mountain! We think this shirt looks amazing in our upcoming Feather River line! Don't you think? Download the pattern for your own version!
A free, boy's shirt sewing pattern; the Cerro Torre is named for one of the mountains in the southern patagonian ice field, due to it's distinctive mountain range paper pieced back. Other features include contrast cuffs, collar and button placket. Shown here with the Skater Shorts Pattern. With short sleeves, just like the mountains, your little one will be cool in the summer; or layer over a long-sleeve t-shirt for cooler months. The Cerro Torre Boy's shirt sewing pattern is available in ages 2-6.

Thanks for sharing with us Stephanie! Feather River by Jay-Cyn Designs is coming very soon to a fabric shop near you.
Looks great....is there a seam allowance in the pattern?
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I also love the triangle detail at the back.
ReplyDeleteI just finished this one without the fancy piecing. My fabric didn't really work with that but I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteunfortunatelly the pattern is not so good. armholes of the back side of the shirt are not even

ReplyDeleteI have made this shirt and surprisingly it needed zero adjustments! I'm so pleased with it. I was not in the mood to draft, found this, tried it out and I'm currently using this exact pattern to make two more shirts. I didn't do the beautiful mountain detail yet, maybe shirt #4
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have this pattern? The website link is down. I'm hoping to make this for a 3rd time for my son for Easter, but I can't find the PDF file on my computer. Growth spurt means he needs the next size up!
ReplyDeleteI can't access it either, which is a huge bummer!
DeleteThanks for sharing such a good post, its very helpful.
