The Nova Shirt BONUS Pattern
A classic shirt with a twist – plus bonus options for a traditional finish
The Nova Shirt takes inspiration from the classic button-up but adds a gently flared shape through the body and beautiful bishop-style sleeves, finished with a bound cuff for a soft, voluminous silhouette. It’s elegant, wearable, and just the right amount of different.
But if you prefer a more traditional shirt look, the Bonus Pattern Pack included gives you even more styling options.
What’s included:
-
Traditional straight shirt sleeve
-
Gable-ended placket opening
-
Barrel-style single cuff
-
Extra shirt collar to pair with the grandad-style collar stand – creating a classic two-piece shirt collar
Mix and match the design details to create a wardrobe of shirts, each with your own personal twist.
Skill level:
Confident beginner and up – if you've sewn a few garments before, you're ready for this.

Patterns in this section are PDF Patterns
PDF patterns are digital downloads of our patterns to print at home or take to your local print shop. The files will be delivered by email and include the instruction booklet. Remember to select your size option if the pattern comes in different size ranges.
Our Printing Service is available for most of our PDF patterns.
What is Printing Service?
When buying a PDF pattern you can opt to add our Printing Service and receive a pattern by post. We print with our large format printer - affectionately named 'Big Bertha' - on 60-80gsm paper, the same weight we use for all our patterns. Nice and sturdy to use but still easy to get a pin through.
Please note: when opting for Print Service you will receive the pattern only in the post. You will be able to download and print the instructions yourself at home.
A Note From Jules...
When deciding on sizing, we advise you to take the finished garment measurements into consideration (these are detailed at the back of your instruction booklet).
We also recommend creating a toile before cutting into your chosen fabrics for safe measure.
Happy sewing!
