Sometimes I do classes just to see the cool fabrics people will bring. I know, totally selfish. :) We fell in love with these two updates on the classic button down. For both men's and women's versions we encourage adding a contrasting collar, cuffs, and plackets to really snazz up the shirt, but they also look lovely with everything matching for a more traditional feel. In this class we will get to the bottom of more complicated sewing skills like inset sleeves, plackets, yokes, and buttonholes.
Supplies to bring (NOTE: Please pre-wash all fabric and have your pattern printed [if digital] and taped together before class):
- Some suggestions are Simplicity Pattern 1538, Sewaholic Granville Shirt, Cashmerette Harrison Shirt and Vernon Shirt, Colette Patterns Negroni, or Thread Theory Fairfield . Again. these are suggestions, if you have one you would like to work on please email us and we can discuss it.
- Please choose ONE pattern and bring the pattern and all notions and fabric listed on the back of the envelope in your size. Note: Pattern sizes are not the same as ready to wear. Please make sure to measure yourself and find the correct size on the envelope. For Example: You may be a 12 at home but a 16 for the sewing pattern.
- Fabric choice: As much as I love plaid and stripes, it's not always the best decision for the first button down shirt as you are adding the need to match plaid/stripes in addition to understanding the construction of a button down shirt.
