Free PDF Pattern & Tutorial | Cerro Torre Shirt | by The Crafty Kitty

 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.

  6. I 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

  7. Does 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!
