🧵 Men's Linen Summer Top — PDF Sewing Pattern
- Overlapping curved front hem • Notch neckline • Dropped shoulders • Short sleeves with folded cuffs • Relaxed pullover fit • US sizes 34–52
The linen shirt without the shirt part. No collar to turn, no placket to match, no buttons to line up — just a clean notch at the neck, a soft dropped shoulder, and a curved front hem where one panel crosses over the other. That crossover is what makes people ask where he got it ✨

📏 BODY MEASUREMENT CHART (US men's sizes)
Measurements in inches and centimetres. Each size is drafted for the height shown.
Size Chest Waist Hips Drafted height
34 34" / 86 cm 29" / 74 cm 35" / 89 cm 69" / 175 cm
36 36" / 91 cm 31" / 79 cm 37" / 94 cm 69" / 175 cm
38 38" / 97 cm 33" / 84 cm 39" / 99 cm 70" / 178 cm
40 40" / 102 cm 35" / 89 cm 41" / 104 cm 70" / 178 cm
42 42" / 107 cm 37" / 94 cm 43" / 109 cm 71" / 180 cm
44 44" / 112 cm 39" / 99 cm 45" / 114 cm 71" / 180 cm
46 46" / 117 cm 41" / 104 cm 47" / 119 cm 72" / 183 cm
48 48" / 122 cm 43" / 109 cm 49" / 124 cm 72" / 183 cm
50 50" / 127 cm 45" / 114 cm 51" / 130 cm 73" / 185 cm
52 52" / 132 cm 47" / 119 cm 53" / 135 cm 73" / 185 cm
These are BODY measurements, not the finished garment. The top is cut with a deliberately relaxed fit — choose your size on your chest measurement.
A word on height: each size is drafted for the height shown in the last column. If you are shorter or taller than that, adjust the body and sleeve length before you cut — it takes two minutes and it makes all the difference on a top with a shaped hem.
🧺 FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Based on 59" / 150 cm wide fabric.
Main fabric — 0.9 yd (0.8 m) for the smaller sizes, increasing to [ ] yd ([ ] m) for the largest. See the pattern for your exact size.
Lightweight fusible interfacing — 0.3 yd (0.3 m), all sizes, for the neckline.
Recommended fabrics: linen, linen blends, cotton-linen, cotton poplin, cotton lawn, double gauze, rayon, viscose, chambray, and other lightweight cotton wovens. Softer fabrics let the front hem overlap sit naturally; anything crisp will hold the curve away from the body.
🎀 PATTERN DETAILS
🔀 Overlapping curved front hem — the detail that makes it
⌄ Notch neckline: a clean round neck with a short centre-front slit
↘️ Dropped shoulders for a soft, easy shoulder line
🌀 Short sleeves finished with folded cuffs
🧍 Relaxed, straight, breathable silhouette
🚫 Pullover — no buttons, no zip, nothing to fit
📄 Layered PDF: A4, US Letter and A0 copy shop
🌞 Made for heat, holidays and weekends
🎁 A genuinely good handmade gift for a man who is hard to buy for
🧰 MATERIALS NEEDED
Lightweight woven fabric (quantities above) · lightweight fusible interfacing · coordinating thread · basic sewing supplies: scissors or rotary cutter, pins or clips, iron · sewing machine
🧵 SKILL LEVEL
Confident beginner. There is no collar, no placket, no buttonhole and no zip — the main seams are straight and it comes together quickly. Two steps are worth slowing down for: the point at the bottom of the neck slit, which wants to be crisp, and the curved front hems, which pucker if you rush the turn. Take those two slowly and the rest is an afternoon.
