I have just finished my third Closet Core Jenna shirt and absolutley love it! Everything gets finished so nicely, from the tower placket on the cuffs, to the collar and collar stand.
The only thing I didn't love on the first two was how the hem was finished - a double fold hem on a deep curve is not easy so this time i finished it with bias binding.
Will get some snaps soon but wondered if anyone had any other shirt patterns they love?
It's winter here in Australia, when I live in my collection of Cookie Knit shirts by naughtybobbinpatterns.com/shop . It's a fantastic pattern that I've made countless times. So comfortable and fun to wear.

That looks like a lovely pattern, super comfy
I Love, Love, Love the Pattern Emporiam All In Easy Fit Shirt.....I'm on my 7th! the pattern is so versatile, you can have a simple collar or a stand collar, there are loads of sleeve options - deep ruffle, short ruffle, plain, short, long with elastic or with a cuff. Oh and you can make a dress version too! The instructions are very detailed ( all 50 odd pages) so it's very easy to follow. there is no bust dart, so it's nice and boxy and loose - very nice in this heatwave.
the hem is curved, but you overlock first then turn it up by the overlocked amount and sew the teeny tiny hem and it turns out really nice. I've popped in a pic of the short sleeve, ruffle version with easy collar, made in linen.
