- Opening with button placket and buttons in front

The same character as version A with an additional cutout at the back sleeve. This cutout will be your best friend when sewing with stripes, so that you will be perfectly aligned.
Atelier Brunette patterns are designed to be traced off. The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. This means that you will be able to make multiple sizes of the garment and adjust the pattern as you trace it if necessary. For this you could use tracing paper, baking parchment, thin wrapping paper; or we can supply you with some spot and cross pattern paper.
You can choose to use a smartphone camera, to capture the the QR Code included in the pattern envelope and follow the on-screen instructions to download your instruction booklet, or go old school and use the printed instructions which are in both French and English.
Fabric Suggestions: Soft fabrics such as viscose, or cotton linen blends. Fancy a strong or graphic piece? Dare to use prints and solide with bright colors, checkers or stripes. Browse the gorgeous Atelier Brunette fabrics.
