How to Make a Button Up Shirt From Scratch

Рет қаралды 87,440

Күн бұрын

This video is a detailed breakdown of how I make a button-up shirt from just a basic shirt block. It shows how I draft all of the pattern pieces that are needed as well as sewing together each piece of fabric. From the plackets, cuffs and sleeves to the challenging collar, it's all in this video.
I also provide tips and tricks along the way. I even make a few mistakes and I kept them in to show that we all have things go wrong from time to time when we make our own custom clothes. Despite my challenges, everything in this video still holds true on how to make a button-up shirt from scratch.

I got that book; made a first flat shirt pattern; made a mock up shirt... altered the pattern, and made two brushed cotton work shirts.... been wearing them and got asked where I bought them...... great videos to follow.... learned a lot.... I recommend your channel to all who are interested in making their own clothes... keep up the great work you do... one of my favourite channels.

The shoulder seams should also be moved forward by an inch to an inch and a half. You do good work, and I'm glad to see you open to still learning as you go.

@CorneliusQuiring Жыл бұрын

Indeed, this is a good point, especially for those looking to wear a lot of coats. It reduces the discomfort of the seam rubbing against the shoulder. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

At 53.9 years of age, I've sewn my first dress shirt using McCall's 6044m pattern. I followed along with TockCustom's video. However, before I started, I watched this video multiple times and adjusted the pattern to suit my needs. My 75 year old mother was very impressed with my finished shirt. This was because you refined my education and saved me decades of practice. I modified the pattern and improved it so much faster. Thank you for the extra education. Keep teaching my brother!!

@polinanikulina Жыл бұрын

Your sewing is remarkably neat considering you're not basting before sewing! Pins are faster but only provide a few attachment points, whereas basting prevents weird puckers, shifting and pulling of the fabric as it's essentially a long running stitch at the seam line. Plus, no broken needles, and a perfectly clear sewing line to follow! I'd also recommend drafting without seam allowances, drawing all seam lines, and transferring every point and mark to line up your pieces perfectly. Any slightly stretchy, slippery, or fluffy fabric prone to unraveling would greatly benefit from seam lines and basting, maybe even thread marking seam lines for extremely mischievous fabrics. It's a small change but these tiny details make a difference, much like your right angle trick!

Love the magic of the burrito method. I’m curious, what percentage of your wardrobe is hand made now?

@CorneliusQuiring Жыл бұрын

My day-to-day wardrobe is 100% self-made these days (minus socks and boxers). I have a couple purchased coats as well but otherwise, all me :) How about you? I hope you're well. It's nice to hear from you.

I have to admit, most of my wardrobe is RTW. I’m trying to create a thoughtful me made wardrobe. I want to start filling the holes in my wardrobe and invest in quality fabrics. I want my garments to look handmade not homemade so I’m always trying to improve so I feel like the more expensive materials will not get wasted.

I hear you on the handmade not homemade part. Also, +1 on good fabrics. I hope you're able to find the time to make the peices you want.

Hi Cornelius 👋 I love your video however I see you use different sewing foots could you tell us what type of sewing foot you use in each step. Maybe it is only me who cares, however I think it will be nice so that we could follow you step by step as well. But that is my only critique i have. However this comment comes will a lot of appreciation and thanks so keep doing what you do.

Absolutely and thanks for pointing this out. There's a zipper foot that I use when I need to sew close to an outside edge without slipping off. The one will the small hole is called a straight stitch presser foot. This one is good for sewing in a straight line and the small hole prevents the fabric underneath from moving as much when the needle goes up and down. Finally, I use a regular presser foot. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!

I just started making my shirt. I tried copying a shirt i like that fits me well. I drafted a pattern. Its not the best, but cloth can be very forgiving. I had to work and ive been gone longer than i thought. Maybe another day of work and ill get the rest done. Ive gotten the sides and back sewn and my collar and sleeves cut and waiting for me. Im excited to refine my skill since i found light blue cotton polo ralph lauren sheets for $15! I have to make that one count.

Thanks for this video, and all of your videos -- you're creating incredible content, and I'm super grateful to you for taking the time to produce it! I have a quick question about how you constructed the double yoke: is there a functional difference, or a difference in the end result, from simply sandwiching your back panel between the two yoke faces, sewing them together, and enclosing that bottom seam between the two yoke faces along the bottom, when compared to the "burrito" style rolling method you've used here? I'm just trying to understand if the result is actually different and I can't see that, or if it's simply another method to the same end. Thanks in advance!

@CorneliusQuiring Жыл бұрын

Correct, there isn't a difference between the two in the end. The reason for my burrito technique is to reduce the chances of error. Using the sandwich technique, the risk of the 2 sides of the yoke not being aligned is increased as you're sort of sewing blind with the layer underneath. I hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Last time I tried to make a button up shirt for my husband, but I messed-up with collar. Please show us how to make a collar and why it becomes short even after correct measurements.

@CorneliusQuiring Жыл бұрын

Yes, I plan to do a full collar video at some point. It can be quite challenging indeed.

You are my go to when I need help. Thankyou. Quick question, how do I amend a pattern to be a 1/2 button up shirt . Aka Burton style.

@CorneliusQuiring 6 ай бұрын

I'm glad to hear my videos are of help. Just combine the 2 front panels and add a half placket.

Great video, hoping to give it a try soon! What kind of fabric do you recommend? I was hoping to mimic the fabric on my favorite shirts but I have no idea where to start. I believe it’s cotton with some stretch. Any idea? Thanks in advance!

@CorneliusQuiring Жыл бұрын

I think it's really up to you and whatever kind of fabric you want. If you're going to have a bit of stretch in there, I suggest perhaps using a walking foot. Good luck and hopefully it turns out as you hope!

I read somewhere that the white side of the pressing ham is for higher temperature pressing, and the plaid side is for lower temperature pressing, by the way. What I'm most confused about is how to measure for a cuff that is curved instead of rectangle (or anything that will be a section of a cone, like a tapered cuff or a hat band). Do you think you could make a video on that, if you think people would be interested...... ? I get that I can measure the length of the curved lines, but don't know how much curve I should put in that length. Thanks!

@CorneliusQuiring Жыл бұрын

Yes, the 2 sides are meant for different fabrics. With my specific one, I haven't noticed a difference. Full disclosure, my ham is on the cheaper end which is probably why. 😬 As for the curved section, that is an interesting video idea indeed. Thank you for suggesting it and I will consider it. The short answer, for now, is that it would be just like I measured the curve of the collar band :) Thanks for watching. I hope you're well.
