I know there are a few people in here who make/have made clothes. Any recommendations on patterns to use for a button down shirt?

find an old one and cut it up. otherwise theres a way to lay a light colored fabric over an existing shirt to copy a pattern. you lay it over, and trace with a pencil. use pins to keep in place. you can use an old sheet or just buy cheap broadcloth or wtvr that cheap cotton is called. make sure to add seam allowance and then use extra fabric to make a sample so you know its made proper. and just be super precise.

measure out the dimensions and then re-draw it, cut it out of big sheets of paper. look up how to make clothing patterns
