Create a stylish contemporary shirt with The Assembly Line's Front Pleat Shirt pattern in this comprehensive two-day workshop that will elevate your garment sewing skills.
The Front Pleat Shirt features a modern cropped boxy silhouette with distinctive angled front pleats and a sharp V-shaped back pleat. The short sleeves can be rolled up for versatility, and the pattern includes extension pieces so you can lengthen the shirt or add a sophisticated hidden button placket for a completely clean finish.

You'll work through each construction step methodically, learning professional techniques that will transform your approach to shirt making. The fresh, crisp style and well-organised instructions make this an enjoyable make that you'll want to sew again and again.
Techniques covered:
- Constructing and setting angled front pleats
- Creating a sharp V-shaped back pleat
- Professional collar construction and attachment
- Setting sleeves with roll-up details
- Buttonhole placement and finishing
- Optional hidden button placket technique
- Pattern modifications and extensions

Materials: The pattern is included with your booking, but you will need to bring your choice of fabric. We recommend light to medium weight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin or lawn for a crisp finish that will showcase the shirt's clean lines beautifully.
Before Your Sewing Session: To make the most of our sewing time, please cut out all pattern pieces and fabric in advance so we can start sewing right away. We're happy to help with fabric choices and sizing advice either in the shop or by email.
