Step-by-Step Sewing Instructions

Draft construction notes. Readable online; review against the pattern pieces before sewing.

Interface the Shirt Components

Apply lightweight fusible interfacing to one Collar Leaf, one Collar Stand, the outer Sleeve Cuffs, and the marked front placket areas. Let every fused piece cool flat before handling.

Form the Front Button Plackets

Fold the integrated placket extensions on both Shirt Front pieces along the printed fold lines. Press the turns sharply, confirm that the finished fronts mirror one another, and edge-stitch the inner folded edges.

Pleat the Back and Attach the Yokes

Fold and baste the marked box pleat in the Shirt Back Bodice. Sandwich its upper edge between the outer and inner Back Yoke pieces right sides together, stitch, turn the yokes upward, and press the enclosed seam.

Join the Front Shoulder Seams

Pin each Shirt Front shoulder to the outer Back Yoke right sides together and stitch the shoulder seams. Roll the shirt body for the burrito method, wrap the inner yoke over each shoulder seam, stitch again along the same seam line, turn the shirt right side out, and press.

Construct and Attach the Collar

Stitch the Collar Leaf pieces right sides together, trim the corners, turn, press, and topstitch. Baste the collar between the Collar Stand pieces, sew the stand around the collar, then attach the outer stand to the shirt neckline. Turn under the inner stand edge and edge-stitch it closed.

Sew the Tower Sleeve Plackets

Transfer the sleeve slash and pleat marks. Apply each Sleeve Placket to its Shirt Sleeve, slash to the marked point, turn the placket through, fold the tower, and edge-stitch around it. Reinforce the top of the slash and baste the wrist pleats.

Set the Shirt Sleeves

With right sides together, match each Shirt Sleeve center cap notch to the shoulder seam and match the front and back armhole notches. Ease the cap between notches, stitch the sleeve into the closed armhole, finish the seam, and press the allowance toward the sleeve.

Close the Shirt and Sleeve Seams

Match the front and back right sides together and align the underarm intersections. Stitch each side seam and sleeve underarm seam continuously from the shirt-tail hem to the sleeve wrist. Finish the allowances and press them toward the back.

Attach the Button Cuffs

Fold each interfaced and non-interfaced Sleeve Cuff right sides together, stitch the short ends, trim, turn, and press. Attach the outer cuff to the pleated sleeve wrist, turn under the inner cuff edge, and edge-stitch it closed.

Hem and Add Shirt Buttons

Turn and stitch a narrow double-fold hem around the curved shirt-tail. Mark the center-front, collar-stand, and cuff closures from the pattern; sew buttonholes on the designated overlap side and attach the corresponding buttons on the underlap side.
