Named Clothing have sew-along series for each step of sewing this pattern on their website, you can find the link here. We have a few extra hints and tips for you below to help you get an extra luxurious finish.
One of the most beautiful things about sewing a shirt are the clean finishing techniques that can be used on the inside. With most seams already tucked inside plackets, collar stands and yokes, there are only a few raw edges left. We love to finish these edges with French seams for the most luxurious finish to your garment.
Find our tutorial here for creating a luxury finish on your garment.
The collar stand is a tricky area to get right, especially when both sides are visible at the front. Follow our tips here for 2 options to get the perfect finish.
Fabric Information
Designed by Rachel Parker for Lamazi Fabrics, Painted Foliage reimagined in teal and magenta colours features an abstract design of foliage in beautiful deep shades. Inspired by the idea of a rainbow canopy of leaves, Rachel painted the affect of dappled sunlight passing through the foliage and tried to capture summer in this fabric.
