2021 Plaid Matching! Flat Felled Seams! Tower Plackets!
Notes: Shirts for my husband, brother and father. Great details are in this shirt and the possibilities are endless!
For my first: I kept it simple and made a short sleeved version but added a contrast yoke and neck loop (mainly to cushion the label I used so it wouldn't irritate his neck). I sewed flat felled seams on the sleeve and underarm. Sorry there's no Cutting video but I'll definitely make another! I think the only thing I'd do is make the back pleat deeper. It looks great on my husband.
2021: this is the ultimate Fairfield. All the details and it turned out great. The plaid matching Cutting video is detailed- it really won't take you this long to cut out a plaid shirt as most won't need to do all these things or think about it. But I give lots of tips on why you don't cut plaids a certain way.
