But you made me realise that I can find a way to put it right and not get disheartened. So thank you.

After searching through a million shirt patterns this one appears to be exactly what I want. However, would a thin, stretch knit be suitable for this? I have 2 yards of the most beautiful fabric and want to make this blouse. Do you think that would be okay?

Oh my Lord, I have to tell you....I just made my first Byrdie Button Up and I absolutely LOVE it...The fit is amazing, it looks so much more feminine than most of the other button up blouses out there...the techniques for putting it together are easy. I seriously love this blouse.

You're very welcome. I have probably made garments from at least 10 or 12 Indie patterns and you are seriously talented and seem to have an amazing fashion sense. To me it seems it's hard enough putting together a pattern to sew, it's also being able to visualize how it's going to look on you, as well as how flattering it's going to fit. I cannot tell you how many button up shirts I've tried and have never gotten obsessed over any of them ...until the Byrdie...I think once everyone sees how well thought out the Byrdie is and how nice it looks and how figure flattering it is...you are going to be swamped with orders.... dye your Byrdie a light blue...lol...I'm starting on my 3rd one now and it's the fuchsia linen...lol..I'm getting ready for summer.

A hint to get a very sharp corner instead of pivoting is to actually do one diagonal stitch at the corner so that when you turn the collar the fabric pushes slightly through the diagonal stitch to make a very sharp point. I use the roll back method you used on the collar stand for waistbands too. I worked in the garment industry for many years but I learn something new all the time. Your tape method for buttons is genius!!

Too much white. I cannot see what you are doing. Create some contrast. White shirt on white cutting board with white thread is like watching a video in a snow storm.

the tutorial goes too quickly. you did not explain clearly how to do a french seam. it would have helped if you used contrasting thread to see the process better

A little too fast

Not very good for a beginner too fast.

The fact that I came for the pockets🥲
