Sew the Fairfield Button-up Shirt from Thread Theory Designs
Learn all the technical skills to construct a professional button-up shirt with Adrianna Aguirre from Thread Theory Designs.
Course Description
In this workshop, you will learn how to sew front-button plackets, sleeve plackets, a collar and collar stand, a back shoulder yoke, flat felled seams, buttons, and buttonholes to name a few details. You will learn how to pick the correct size and make pattern adjustments so the finished garment will fit you correctly. Depending on the fabric you choose for your project you will learn how to match plaids and prints.
This is an intermediate sewing project so it would be best if you had prior sewing knowledge or are familiar with reading sewing pattern instructions and using a sewing pattern.
