Hand on heart, this the best tutorial I have seen on making a shirt. It is very comprehensive and easy to follow. I have the pattern, I have the fabric. When will part 4 be out? Thank you so much. My husband is going to be pleased that I am actually going to make him a shirt
I am so glad that you are finding these helpful! It’s such a thrill when you make your first button up shirt, and all the better when it’s for someone you love. You’ve GOT this! Pay attention to the details, take it a step at a time, and you will get there. From experience (and as a so-called “visual learner”), the hardest part the first time around is that it’s tough to fully visualize what it is that you’re supposed to be doing based on those black and white still diagrams in the instruction sheets, and that’s the gap I’m trying to bridge by making these videos. Shouldn’t be too long before Part 4 is out - I’ll do my best! Inserting sleeves is a skill unto itself and I’ll try to share my best tips on the topic. In the meantime, I really appreciate you taking me on your journey, and your kind words. 💕
So pleased I found you, you explain so well. I got this pattern and never made anything before and could not work it out. When is part 4 available to view please as I would love to finish the shirt for my son for his holiday very soon. Thankyou so much
This is great. Patterns baffle me and with your help I’ve got my shirt to the point of adding the sleeves, then… oh no! No part 4. Please upload it, I’m confused and lost at the most difficult bit. 🫤
Thank you so much for decoding the collar instructions that seem to have been written in Klingon. I had been struggling with the collar attachment for hours with poor results. I am going to cut a new collar and follow your instructions. Thanks so much.
I can't say thank you enough. The directions with the pattern might as well have been in another language. I was really getting discouraged and now I've finished it!
OMG thank you! The collar!!! Finally I get it!! The instructions with the pattern were awful and I just could not work it out but you show it so clearly
Wish I would have found this before starting my first shirt. The collar was a head scratcher for me and any other videos I found weren’t the best at explaining it. But after watching yours it was like, “oh, ok, that’s not too terrible” lol. Didn’t help that the Simplicity pattern for basically the same shirt has the small dots in the collar in the wrong place as they don’t line up at all with the shoulder seams. Fortunately another TH-cam’r figured this out and showed how to correct it. Also, I think the pattern sizing is too big. My next shirt will be made following your tutorial. Thanks for your amazing work and for sharing!!! 😊
I’m so happy this was helpful! I worked hard to try to break it down so as to show all the nuances in the process because I remember all too well how it felt to be new at this and scratching my head over sewing pattern instructions. 😂 Sounds like you’re getting the hang of it. Keep sewing and - most importantly - hope you’re having fun!!! :)
@@elianasews Actually, YOU ARE the other You Tuber that fixed the S9157 pattern issue with the collar, DOH!! ☺️ I’m ready to start this shirt as my NL6197 pattern arrived. Your videos are like being right there watching. Hope to see part 4 soon. Cheers 😊
@@racrx7 Hehe I’m glad my other vid was helpful. And I’m glad to hear your new pattern has arrived, yay!!! On sizing, my advice is to pay close attention to the body size chart on the back of the pattern envelope. Measure around your chest, waist, and hips carefully with measuring tape, then compare your numbers to the body measurements chart to pick your size! Keep in mind that sometimes the garment is intended to have a lot of “ease” (extra inches above body measurements) - just depends on the style that the pattern designer was going for. Often you can get a feel for the style by examining the photo on the front of the envelope. And the back of the envelope sometimes tells you the number of inches above body measurements that the designer added. Finally, often times, but not always unfortunately, the finished garment measurements are printed on the pattern tissue pieces (typically on the front garment pieces, at the chest, waist, and hip points). Subtract those numbers from the body size that the garment was designed for and that will give you the amount of ease that the designer added. If it’s too much ease for you, you could try sizing down! Or choose a pattern that is designed to be more form fitting. I know it’s hard, though - not a ton of patterns for men out there, compared to what’s available for women! Hope that helps a little. Good luck.
Hi there, Very impressed with your instructions, absolute beginner so this helps me understand the not so clear pattern instructions. Do you have a date for stage 4? Very much looking forward to my first shirt. Thanks, Jon
Hi Jon, I’m so glad you found this helpful! Part 4 has been almost done for quite a while. 🙈 I’ll try to get it up soon!! I’m so glad you’re planning to give this a try. Making your own clothing is one of the most satisfying things EVER!

100%awesome
Thank you for providing the best tutorial for this somewhat difficult-to-follow pattern.
So pleased I found you, you explain so well.

Extremely helpful! When is part 4? 😭

Amazing, Lisa!!! Well done. If you’re like me, you’re now officially addicted to making button up collar shirts!!! 😜 Happy sewing.
I have this pattern and will add a contrast inner yoke and finish using the burrito method

Awesome tutorial!!! But, did you ever get to publish part IV?

Is there a part 4 to the shirt
