- SLSandra L.Verified Buyer1 week agoRated 4 out of 5 starsgenra Shirt
good pattern but I would really like a short sleeved option inclusion
- KMKate M.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat Pattern!
This is such a good pattern. Everything came together so perfectly - it was a breeze to sew and the instructions were great. What I loved most was that everything matched up perfectly with the notches etc. I think if this is the first time you have attempted a collar like this, then this is the one to try. I also loved that the collar was slim and elegant.
- TRTiffany R.Verified Buyer2 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat basic, easy to sew up!
I love a great button-up shirt, but have mostly sewn stand-collar shirts before. The camp collar styling on this was such a nice simple sew, and looks great in casual linen! As soon as I finished my first one, I immediately pulled two more fabrics out of the stash to line up more Genra shirts. Love it!
- KKerynneVerified Buyer2 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSo. Good
The Genra is a luxe edition to your button up shirt pattern collection. Everything comes together beautifully and the techniques included ensure a neat finish.

I really love this shirt. I’ve made two, one in a linen and one in a silky cotton. The pattern drafting is amazing, and the instructions are excellent. Can’t wait to make more DJ patterns.
