Classic Shirt No. 7

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Classic Tailored Shirt »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Classic


Materials

100% cotton shirting fabric

What was your inspiration?

The love of shirts and my attempt to sew a perfect shirt.

What are you most proud of?

On this shirt I reworked the collar so that it follows the natural curves of the body. The pockets and cuff have a sloped side. I shortened the back of the shirt about 1/2" so that it would hang nicer and I also curved the side seams in a little bit.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to use your seam ripper. Mistakes happen.
