The Butano Button Up by Friday Pattern Co is an understated essential and the ultimate styling workhorse for your wardrobe. This versatile sewing pattern features a relaxed fit with generous ease—effortless without being oversized—making it perfect for the office, weekend outings, and everything in between.
Choose between short or long sleeves with a bound placket and cuff. The optional neckerchief threads through belt loops on the collar stand and can be styled multiple ways. Additional details include bust darts, a back pleat, collar stand, and a charming chest patch pocket. Clear, thoughtfully designed instructions make even the trickier construction techniques achievable for confident beginners and experienced sewers alike.
This printed pattern includes a comprehensive instructions booklet and tissue-paper pattern pieces in all sizes, from XS/0 to 7X/32 (32"–60" chest).
Designed for light to medium-weight woven fabrics. Choose structured options like twill or denim for a crisp silhouette, or drape-friendly fabrics like rayon challis or silk for a softer, more fluid look. The versatility shown in Friday Pattern Company’s samples—cotton poplin, silk noil, and linen—demonstrates the range of finishes you can achieve.
