It has been awhile, but I hope you find this worth the wait! If you’ve never made a button up shirt before, you’ll be ready to tackle some of the trickier elements of sewing a shirt like sleeve plackets and the burrito method and grow your sewing skills. :)

Your method for attaching cuffs from the wrong side works so much better than the instructions in the pattern. Thank you! First really good cuff I have sewn.

Thank you, for the tutorial. I thought I was doing my plackets wrong for this shirt but they did all turn out ok with just folding over. It was hard to see the wrong side on your fabric choice.

@SewingTherapy

Жыл бұрын

You're very welcome, and thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry that it was difficult to see the right and wrong side of the fabric in the video! While using a quilting weight cotton fabric might have made it easier to demonstrate the right and wrong sides in the video, I wanted to use this beautiful brushed cotton for my dad's shirt.

what kind of tools to pin the pocket?

Love your videos! It's sometimes hard to follow along when both the right and wrong side of the fabric look the same. This plaid fabric has a tendency to look the same from each side.

@SewingTherapy

Жыл бұрын

I make an effort to steer clear of fabrics that might confuse the audience, but I do have a preference for working with yarn-dyed fabrics when creating garments. Unfortunately, this means that occasionally there might be some confusion. I apologize for any inconvenience caused, but I find this fabric particularly appealing and couldn’t resist using it.

How much seam allowance should I leave for the stay-stitch?

@SewingTherapy

6 ай бұрын

Ensure the stay stitch remains within your main stitches. Sew with a seam allowance of less than 3/8".

How can get the pattern draft of the shirt please?
