I really enjoyed sewing the shirt and you can see the results (with a few personal touches) in the images attached.

So, after a good night’s sleep, I decided I will make a muslin. I’m not on FB, but I do follow all your other channels.

I pribted out size 2 now and put together the pieces. I’ve shortened the front piece and back piece by 3 1/5″. Now, if I eyeball the back with the yoke and the front, by matching the shoulder line and taking into account the seam allowance on each piece, I get a longer back by almost 2″.

The question is, do I need to alter the…[Read more]

So, before cutting the fabric, can you please advise me on what to do next in order to get the shirt I want?

I’m an A/B cup and petite. 32″ in bust,…[Read more]

I’m gonna try it for my next project with this pattern.

For the neck, I’ve attached a couple of images of what I’m aiming for. Zipped hoodie with high neck hood - front view

Any advice on how to do that?

I already tried something on a pull-over hoodie and it turned out so badly I had to completely redo the hood and give up the idea. It simply didn’t work…[Read more]

But before, I’m just curious about the seam finishing. I have recently become a fan of the faux flat felled seam and also read your tutorial on it. In one of your images, you captured a satin stitch foot on the fabric. Did you actually use that when sewing the seam? It might make…[Read more]

And I just found the summer shirt and it has the exact fit info I needed for my lightweight cotton. Can’t wait to see, too. My first shirt in decades!

So, I was wondering if I can alter the pattern and use the classic shirt pattern collar instead. Would that work? Would it need any special adjustments?
Thanks!
