As sewers and workwear enthusiasts, we want to work with quality designs, tools and materials that are specifically suited to our rugged sewing projects.
Our curated workwear, menswear and androgynous fashion sewing patterns, along with the corresponding tools and notions, make this possible!
Morgan and Adrianna, along with a small crew of talented pattern making contractors, form the Thread Theory team. We both specialized in menswear during post-secondary fashion programs, we both have a passion for detailed and high quality tailoring practices, and we both love to sew!
This pattern is AMAZING and I cannot recommend it enough. The instructions are the best I've come across so far and although it was slow going, it was totally worth it.
The instruction is just as brilliant as the #fairfieldbuttonup. I managed my first zip fly!!!! And on this rare occasion, the inside looks as presentable as the outside with the bias binding to finish off the raw edges.
My fourth version of the Finlayson jumper from Thread Theory patterns. A very easy pattern and I love the results.
A button-up shirt with all of the classic details and a modern, moderately slim fit. This design features a slim collar with collar stand, an optional chest pocket, flat felled seams and a yoke. The button band is drafted onto the shirt front to make matching plaids and stripes simple. The hem is curved so that this shirt can be worn tucked in or loose. The sleeves include tower plackets and the option for a hidden tab so that they can be rolled and secured at the elbow. Choose between a center back pleat or create a more fitted look with long shaped darts.
The Fairfield includes regular sizing for slim to average figures and a separate set of pieces for larger figures to accommodate a rounded stomach.
This pattern, as part of the Cityscape Urban Menswear Collection, is an elegant silhouette accented with modern design elements. Sew the garments in this collection to create a polished wardrobe suitable for the professional lifestyle or formal occasions.
Our sew-along includes dozens of clear photos, assistance in choosing your size, and detailed alteration advice to create a perfect tailored button-up. View the entire series of posts here.
