Pirate Shirt Piece Diagram
🕑 Added 2020-09-14 15:07:22 +0000 UTCAs requested, here is a still of the pattern diagram as seen in last week's pirate shirt video. It should require no more than 2 yards of material.
Transcribed for those who have difficulty with cursive:
Shirt body:
width of fabric IF c. 40-44 in, or roughly double width from shoulder to shoulder
x1 (x2 if split at shoulder seam)
this space measures the length between base of neck to tip of shoulder +2-3". All space in between is left for neck hole opening.
neck slit—usually ~10" on men's shirts but mine is c. 5" -length from shoulder to mid-thigh
Sleeve:
25" (top of shoulder to waist, +2")
Cuff:
4" (to be folded in half)
circumference of wrist +1 1/2" for ease and closure overlap)
Collar:
3 1/2" or—height of neck from base of neck to about 1" under chin -circumference around base of neck + about 1" for ease
Gusset:
I ended up cutting these down to 5 x 5 to fit my armscye
Reinforcement Patches:
x5, 1" x 1"
Other Sundry Notes:
*pieces not to scale lol
*seam allowance NOT included
(sorry about the state of this, electronic tablets are real weird, it turns out)
Happy pirating! :)

I finally have some days of leave coming up in the next few weeks, so I've decided this is going to be my project for it :)
I started working on this as we were under nightmarish fire evacuations and it was just what I needed to slow down and recenter myself and be present after the mad rush to make sure everything important was in the car. Your timing was impeccable - thank you. I have only to finish the collar and hem now. =)
