Learn how to sew shirts like a pro using any pattern. Get perfect collars, cuffs and plackets every time with our excellent online sewing class!
In this class, we teach you how to sew shirts as we cover every stage of the shirtmaking process. From choosing the right fabrics and buttons to achieving perfect collars and cuffs.
Throughout the class, you can sew a shirt right along with us, whether you are using the same pattern or one completely different. We walk you through all of the important preparation and our preferred order of construction before we start sewing. Then, we hold your hand through every stage of the construction, explaining each step in great detail with close up views.
We give you a choice of methods for sewing hems, sleeves, seams and yokes (including the famous ‘burrito’ method and our own ‘shoulder flip’ variation). We cover all the different varieties you might come across when learning how to sew shirts – with 4 types of placket, 4 styles of collar, 3 different sleeve openings and 3 kinds of cuff. So, no matter which shirt pattern you are sewing, we’ve got you covered!
We’ll give you tips to perfect each tricky stage and get a professional finish every time. Plus, take your shirtmaking to the next level with our extra bonus lessons on contrast fabrics, working with bias, changing your collar shapes and swapping sleeve patterns.
