The Classic Tailored Shirt »

Instructions

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Classic, Traditional, Casual


Materials

100% cotton with small metallic stripe

What was your inspiration?

Looking for fabric to sew clothing for my grandchildren and found this fabric on sale for 70%off. It turned out much better than I thought! I have worn it to work, and no one guessed it was handmade. I feel that the way Pam teaches gives a person permission to slow down and enjoy the process . . . . it became very relaxing. Thank you to Pam!

What are you most proud of?

That it is finished and wearable. Also, the sleeves were far too long and I was able to adjust the length by shortening the placket. That took more patience than I thought I had.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Listen to Pam.
