The Design Story for the Cornelius Shirt

We did it. After over a decade of making patterns, Closet Core is releasing its very first collaboration, and we went big. Meet the Cornelius Western Shirt, a pattern for both women and men, made in partnership with sewing educator and certified cowboy, Cornelius Quiring. In this video, Heather and Cornelius walk you through the full design story behind this pattern, from how they met at the H&H conference in Chicago to why a Western shirt felt like the perfect first collab. They cover fabric choices, styling tips, and all the details that make this pattern special, including the sewn-on yokes, smile pockets, piping options, and that satisfying tower sleeve placket. The Cornelius Western Shirt comes in two views: a classic everyday Western (View A) and a full rhinestone cowboy moment with curved yokes and decorative piping (View B).
