I haven't used it, but I have used the Infant's Clothing pattern, and I was impressed by the research involved. If all their patterns are of the same quality, it should be good. The GBACG Pattern Review ( gbacg.org/GreatPatternReview/)says: Hazel Dickfoss - Highly Recommended Another pattern I found easy to work with and fit beautifully. I especially like the fact that the men's shirt pattern has the re-enforcing piece across the shoulder from front to back which encloses the raw, gathered edges of the sleeve at the shoulder. Paul Dickfoss - Highly Recommended This pattern is very easy to make, even for beginners. There are easy-to-follow directions with clear pictures to illustrate the steps. A reference section is included with directions and illustrations for each stitch used. This is the only 18th century men's shirt pattern I know of that includes a full cross-stitch alphabet with directions for marking your shirt. Original shirts are very well made inside and out for durability. This pattern has you finish all the inside seams which is consistent with original garments. |

I have yet to make this pattern up, but it is sitting in my box of projects. I, too, was very impressed with the research and the very detailed construction guide. What really surprised me is that the pattern gives directions for modern, machine-sewing, as well as for absolutely period hand-sewn construction. The pattern even goes into detail on how to prepare to cut your fabric! I can't wait to start.
