Pattern Review: Vogue 8759 Men’s Shirt
February 22, 2013
I received this lovely email from Rosalie last week:
Hello everyone at my most favourite fabric shop,
I have been creating madly in my new sewing room and I want to share my latest project. I have sewn for many years but had never tackled a man’s shirt, but this fabric Vintage Jag Collection, needed to be made as a shirt.
I used Vogue 8759 and I found the instructions easy to follow and I am really happy with the result. I would move the button placement slightly and maybe use a topstitching thread for the welted seam treatment but apart from those minor things the pattern fits really well and the shirt looks great on Stephen. Really very happy with the result.
Now what’s next, more shirts or perhaps a enzyme washed linen shift for the hot days in the coming week.
Loving my holidays, loving the fabulous sewing room that I have waited a lifetime for, loving life really, what more could I want.
Cheers Rosalie
I’d be loving that sewing room too! Stephen looks great in his new shirt and gets top marks for creating this sewing space for you.

Reading this letter really made me smile 🙂 Lovely and cosy place you have there Rosalie, you're so Lucky! Because when we can do what we love , It's Happiness 🙂
I bought this mens shirts store for my boyfriend and he really liked it. The material is very nice. For size reference, he's not a very big guy and he sometimes wears a small, but the medium worked well for him.
Hi. I’m newish to sewing and have only ever made a few short sleeved shirts including the vogue 8759. My son wanted a long sleeved version and so ive started to make it for him. I’ve sewn the 2 pieces of the sleeves together until to marking to stop but now im really stuck on the rest. I’d ironed the flaps to the inside but I can’t fathom the rest of the instructions. Is the flap turned in again like a hem to encase the raw edges? Any help is appreciated. I am admiring the one you’ve made and would love mine to be nearly as well made. Thanks Bev
