A well-fitting basic shirt to complement your existing wardrobe or in a functional fabric as a sports shirt - Somaya can do both and also gives you the option to choose two different front parts. Our sewing examples give you an idea of what Somaya is all about. Basic is good - but even better with variety.
Length at center back = 63 – 68 cm
In this pattern, Somaya was sewn from an elastic sports jersey.
Required material:
We recommend jersey with elastane or functional material.
| Sizes 34-50 plain | jersey | 1.10 m | 140cm wide |
| Sizes 34-50 divided fabric 1 | jersey | 0.80 m | 140cm wide |
| Sizes 34-50 divided fabric 2 | jersey | 0.70m | 140cm wide |
| Sizes 34-50 divided fabric 3 | jersey | 0.35m | 140cm wide |
Cutting:
Cut the pattern pieces from your outer fabric . Lay the fabric right side up. Lay the selvedges parallel to the middle so that you can place the front and back pieces in the fold. The pattern pieces should all lie face up. Always align the thread up arrow on all pieces in the same direction and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all the clippings from the pattern through a 3mm long incision with scissors or chalk . Clip the seam allowance in the fabric fold because this is always a center. Markings define positions of dart ends , pocket positions, and much more. Transfer these either with chalk or a pin . 
What you need from fabric:
- 1x front part in the break
- 1x back part in the break
- 2x sleeves opposite
- 1x neck trim
Sewing instructions:
For your information, there is also a video in which we explain how you can insert dividing seams into your pattern.
To sew this shirt you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, or alternatively the zigzag stitch on your sewing machine to neaten the cut edges.
Be sure to use a jersey needle and use a stretchy stitch, i.e. if you are sewing with a household sewing machine, you should use either a zigzag stitch or the three-part elastic stitch and then all seam allowances again with a zigzag stitch or another appropriate stitch Neaten so they don't fray. In addition to the description, the colorful lines in the pictures show you where a seam needs to be sewn or something needs to be glued.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances that are not specifically marked are 1cm wide!
Have fun sewing!
Sizes 46-50 have a bust dart, please sew this according to the cut.
Start your sewing work with the front and back parts of the shirt. Place both pieces on top of each other, right sides together, and close the side seams. The seam allowances are then neatened together and ironed to the back. 
The shoulders are also closed, right sides together, neatened together and ironed to the back. 
Finish the hem all around and iron it once according to the markings. 
Then sew it through and stitch the hem in place. 
Now let's move on to preparing the sleeves. Place one on top of each other, right sides together, and stitch the inside arm seam together. The seam allowances are neatened together and ironed to the back. 
Here too, the hem of the sleeves is neatened and ironed according to the cut. 
Then sew it through and stitch the hem in place. 
Now you can sew the sleeves into the prepared armhole. Orientate yourself on the snapshots in the cut. The seam allowances are neatened together and ironed into the sleeve. 
We then prepare the neck panel. Place these on top of each other, right sides together, and close the shoulder seam. The seam allowances are ironed apart. 
The neck trim is ironed inside out, left to left, and secured with an additional seam. 
Now let's move on to the penultimate step by placing the neck panel, right sides together, on the prepared body, securing it with needles and stitching through. Pay attention to the clips in the cut. The seam allowances are neatened together and ironed down. 
Finally, sew and secure the seam allowance with a seam just down the edge.
