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.

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.
