{"product_id":"i-am-patterns-barbara-shirt-and-dress","title":"I AM Patterns Barbara Shirt and Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuy the Barbara Shirt and Dress sewing pattern from I AM Patterns. I am Barbara, a twist on the classic shirt. I have a classic shirt collar and sleeves, cuffs with a slit opening, a back yoke and a centre-back pleat. My front buttons are hidden under a placket and I have a wide cut. Yet my details make me very original. My front and\/or back flounces are set in the sleeves. I have three different flounce variations with or without godets for a truly unique style. I can also be made as a dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e– PDF\u003c\/b\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cb\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePDF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/b\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
