Sewing Pattern “Maja” – Fitted Jersey Shirt

The “Maja” pattern is a fitted jersey shirt with a comfortable fit at the waist. It features a round neckline with two variations – higher neckline or wider scoop neckline. Additionally, the straight sleeves are included in four different lengths.

This pattern works best with light to medium-weight jersey fabrics. For winter, you can use slightly thicker jersey to create a long-sleeve shirt. Sew the Maja shirt using solid-colored fabric for a versatile wardrobe basic, or choose a patterned fabric to make it a unique, one-of-a-kind piece just for you.

What’s included in the pattern:

• Variation 1: Small neckline / higher cut
• Variation 2: Larger neckline / deeper scoop
• Different sleeve lengths: short, 3/4, 7/8, and long

The pattern includes individual and multi-size options from sizes 34 to 50 (EU) with seam allowances included, available as A4 and A0 PDF files.
