Product Information
Full details
The Style Arc Besharl Tee is designed for intermediate sewers who want to elevate their casual wardrobe with a modern, architectural silhouette. Its key benefit is the unique construction, which replaces traditional side seams with an angled front seam and features an extended shoulder line, providing a contemporary fit. A key caveat is that this pattern requires a comfortable grasp of garment construction, as the angled seaming and shoulder design are slightly more complex than a basic standard t-shirt.

FAQs
What skill level is required for the Besharl Tee?
This pattern is categorized for intermediate sewers due to the unique construction of the angled seams.
Are seam allowances included?
Yes, all Style Arc patterns, including the Besharl Tee, come with seam allowances included on the paper pattern.
Can I use woven fabrics for this pattern?

What sizes are available in this pattern?
This specific pattern includes sizes 10 through 22.
How should I store the paper pattern?
Store your pattern flat or rolled in a cool, dry place to prevent the 60gsm paper from tearing or creasing over time.
Can I use different fabrics for the back and front?
Yes, the design is perfect for color-blocking or using different fabric types for the back panel.
Troubleshooting
The angled seam does not lay flat
Ensure you are properly clipping the curves and pressing the seam allowances open or to one side as indicated by the pattern instructions.
Shoulder area feels too wide
Before cutting your fabric, perform a muslin fit test to see if you need to adjust the shoulder slope or width to match your specific frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have measured your body accurately against the size chart provided for sizes 10–22. Because this is a paper pattern, it is recommended to press the pattern pieces with a dry, low-heat iron if they arrive creased before pinning them to your fabric. For the best construction results, use a walking foot on your sewing machine if working with knits to ensure the seams do not stretch or pucker. After assembly, care for your finished Besharl Tee according to the specific fiber content of your chosen fabric; however, delicate cycles and air drying are recommended to maintain the structural integrity of the angled seams.
