Archer Sew-Along: Day 10 - Inserting your Sleeve Plackets

[@suukii99]

I have to say I am impressed by this video series. Apart from an occasional shot obscured by fingers, the instructions are really clear. Previously this type of placket was my nemesis. I followed the instructions to a t - on a practice piece - have annotated my own copy of the pattern instructions and am about to go for the real thing. Thank you - will be browsing other pattern instructions - with positive vibes for grainline studio. Guess that’s part of the plan ;-)

Thanks! Definitely try to keep my fingers out of the way but since it's a free series I can't afford to hire a cameraperson. The camera is right between me and the machine!

Glad you like them!

Thank you. That was a challenge but I think mine came out okay. Who knew those plackets were so tricky. 🤪

[@GrainlineStudioSewing]

Every time you do one they get easier! You can also practice a few by cutting some extra placket pieces and just slicing the placket line into some scrap fabric

[@marywhite2407]

How can I make a smaller [less deep !) cuff please , do I just cut a smaller piece ?

[@GrainlineStudioSewing]

Yep, all you have to do is make the piece narrower!

[@Liguorienne]

So far you are the best that explains, but ... sadly when it come to the the tricky part of the point your fingers hide what y have so much trouble to do. 😞 But thanks anyway 🌹

[@GrainlineStudioSewing]

Which part is it you have problems with specifically?

[@jacquelinerobert3648]

Thanks for the clear explanation but when you arrive at the part where you need to "barely catch the point" your hand is in the way we can't see where/ how you sew that middle bit.

@@suukii99 Thanks for the timestamp. I'm hoping to film a stand alone video for continuous plackets soon so I'll keep this in mind!
