Fabric suggestions: The Panini Pleated Shirt is designed to be made in medium weight woven fabrics, that hold pleats well. We found that cotton shirting, cotton poplin and cotton/linen blends work best. We did find that linen does stretch during sewing so please keep that in mind when opting to use linen. Designed to use what you have on hand, the Panini Pleated Shirt also lends itself well to thrifted and repurposed fabrics.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Hi, I'm Romy-Krystal!
Born and raised in sunny Sydney, I'm a color-loving maker. I started sewing over a decade ago, teaching myself through countless Google searches, YouTube marathons, and a healthy dose of trial and error. About five years ago, I dove headfirst into pattern drafting, eventually taking a formal course to bring my physical patterns into the digital world with Adobe Illustrator.
I design every pattern myself—from sketch to sample to instructions and even the YouTube tutorials. It’s a one-woman show powered by passion (or obsession).
My style? Think bold color, playful patchwork, and modern design with a high-end feel. I believe sewing should be fun, inclusive, and full of personality. When I’m not working on patterns you’ll find me supporting other’s in the sewing community.
Whether you’re just getting started or you're here for the color and creativity, you’re so welcome. I’m glad you’re here—stay a while!
