The Clara shirt is a timeless and versatile design that you can fully customize to your liking. You can choose between a Cuban collar or a collarless version, depending on the look you want to create. Go for sleeveless or short sleeves, and optionally add a wide sleeve cuff for extra length and a playful touch.

The different pocket options—from large flap pockets to a small rounded chest pocket, with or without a subtle ruffle—give you complete freedom to define your own style. With color blocking options, such as contrasting hems, sleeve cuffs, and pocket trims, you can create endless variations.

Clara is also flexible in length: you can choose from four hem lengths, including a rounded hem that works perfectly for a dress version. The straight, slightly relaxed fit offers comfort and creates a clean, modern silhouette that suits a variety of body types. Clara feels comfortable without losing its shape and has a contemporary, wearable look.

This design is also available in kid's sizes under the name 'COLOMBIA shirt & dress', and there's a similar men’s shirt design called CUBA shirt’

 

Fabric choice

Clara offers a wide range of fabric possibilities. Choose lightweight, fluid fabrics such as viscose, tencel, or fine cotton for a soft, flowing look. Prefer more structure? Opt for slightly heavier fabrics like cotton, chambray, or linen for a more boxy appearance. Heavier or more wintery fabrics also work beautifully for Clara, making it a pattern you can use throughout the seasons. The final result will vary depending on your fabric choice.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND WASHING YOUR FABRIC BEFORE CUTTING.


Level

Clara is designed with ease of sewing in mind. The techniques are kept as simple and efficient as possible, making this a quick and satisfying project. If you have never sewn a shirt before, this is an ideal pattern to start with. The simplest version— without a collar, pockets, or cuffs—is perfect for learning the basics. From there, you can gradually add more details at your own pace.

 

Fit

Clara has a straight, relaxed fit with a slightly oversized feel and no bust dart. The wide sleeves enhance the boxy silhouette, which also results in deeper armholes (something to consider for the sleeveless version). The dress version features generous side slits for ease of movement. Thanks to the different lengths, necklines and pocket options, you can easily adapt the look to your style.

 

Notions

Fabric requirements 

The fabric lengths charts show how much fabric you will need for all variations, calculated on a standard fabric width of 140 cm - 1.55 yd. If your fabric is narrower, you will need more fabric length. For broader or narrower fabrics you can calculate how much fabric you will need by laying out the pattern pieces on the table according to your fabric width and measuring how much fabric length you will need accordingly.

It's A Whistler!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 1
This Chuckit! Whistler Ball is basically a regular fetch toy that decided to become an annoying little teakettle mid-air. My dog goes absolutely nuts for it—every throw sounds like a tiny referee is shrieking "foul!" the whole way across the yard. He chases it harder than he chases the mailman, and bonus: I can actually find it in tall grass because it's screaming for help. Super bouncy, tough enough that he hasn't destroyed it yet (miracle), and now our walks sound like a low-budget horror movie.

Great buy
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 2
Easy to track balls. My dog loves them and I like that they whistle when you throw them cause some times my dog loses track of it in the air. This helps because they can hear where it's going. Will buy again.

My Dog's Favorite Balls
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 2
My dogs love these balls and won't play with any others. My lab has to carry the orange ball and track and retrieve the blue one. We have a system!

Our perfect chew toy for a relentless chewer!
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 2
We have looked high and low for a ball that our Australian Shepherd couldn't destroy. Read on to find out why we are sticking with this one. We've used other Chuckit! products in the past to mixed degrees of success. We absolutely love the ring fetch toy, though the dog can destroy those rings in a couple days. We tried other "nearly indestructible" balls only to have to throw them away within a couple days because our dog had destroyed them and left small pieces around the house for the baby to find. We have been COMPLETELY satisfied by these balls. They fit with the Chuckit! stick, which is a great bonus, but the most important thing is the dog hasn't been able to get pieces torn out of them. His orange one is his "indoor toy" and he's been going to town on it for weeks without any indication of wear. We periodically inspect it and are always floored to see that it's generally in the same condition as when we gave it to him. The orange color did fade a little when he left it outside for a few days in the sun, but considering how well it works otherwise, this didn't concern us at all. The "whistling" aspect of this ball is... well, an interesting gimmick but I wouldn't buy it if that's what you're interested in. Sometimes it makes noise in flight, other times it doesn't. We don't care. He chews it until he's tired of it (which is usually hours) and it squeaks and squorks on his teeth which keeps him happy as a clam. We honestly didn't think we'd find a ball that could keep up with his chewing, but this one has been phenomenal. We cannot recommend it enough!

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.
