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

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

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.

Something else. 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]

I foolishly printed out a size 10, wanting to make a more relaxed fit shirt, like in Liesl’s recent summer shirt post, just to figure out that I was actually a size 0 according to the size table :((

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]

The tube idea is great, thank you. I’m gonna try it for my next project with this pattern.

Partially it does (the hood is made up of 3 pieces, instead of one). For the neck, I’ve attached a couple of images of what I’m aiming for.

I would love to be able to make a high neck hoodie, so that the hood closes up higher (like a small collar), using the Lisette for Butterick B6386 sewing pattern. 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]

Bought the classic shirt pattern and now it’s time to start 🙂

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]

Thank you, Liesl.
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!
Corina G. started the topic Classic shirt collar in the forum liesl + co: recital shirt 5 years ago

I’m thinking of making the recital shirt – it has a great fit – but I don’t particularly like the collar. 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!
