Garment Sewing: Sew a Button Front Shirt

Button front shirts and shirts with collars are tricky! Plackets, button holes, collar stands, all of these things are not for the faint of heart. We will tackle all of these hurdles in Garment Sewing: Button Front Shirt.

This class is two, three hour sessions

Date: Two Tuesdays, July 17 & 24, 6pm - 9pm

Learn the tricks and tips to make your own classic button-front shirt such as:

• Proper fitting
• How to make button holes
• Making a placket

You can choose between making a shirt for a male or female figure, but if you're making a shirt for someone else, please let us know as you'll need to bring a little more information to the first class!
