How to Insert a Placket in the Middle of a Skirt Panel | Continuous Placket Tutorial

[@meowtain9566]

Great instructions! Clear, straight to the point and every step shown!

[@SimplyStormy]

I am hollering😂. I did my first slip stitch on a skirt this week and girl you just 💩 on me! Compared to yours mine is HILARIOUSLY bad 😂

[@HattoHem]

Trust me, mine aren't usually this neat. This was 100% for the video 😂

[@mothersuperior6751]

Thank you. Another clearly explained and accurately shown tutorial.

[@HattoHem]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it!

[@hanatelige]

This is the exact tutorial I’ve been looking for!

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad to hear that! I was worried this was too niche for the tutorial to be helpful to many people, but I'm so glad it helped you!

[@janalutzko1859]

You saved my project with this video lol thanks

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad to hear that!!! I hope it turns out nicely!

[@ameliaetienne8521]

You are adorable and this is a wonderful demonstration. Thank you

[@marissacable1629]

I just wanted to say this is the best tutorial I've found for a placket opening - so simple and such a clean finished look! Thank you so much for this!

[@patriciakellyadams134]

YES... I was just trying to figure out how to do this very thing.

[@HattoHem]

That's some pretty perfect timing then! :D I was actually going to post this video in two weeks, but I bumped it up to this week. Guess it was meant to be!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Nice. The explanation was very well done! It’s been years since I put in a placket. I would have had to go back to my notes with scraps of fabric to try and see what I meant. This is much nicer

[@HattoHem]

I'm glad this could be helpful! :D

[@maureenann]

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen. Thank you so much for showing each step and explaining so clearly! Just found your channel and I will be sure to check out your other videos. :)

[@HattoHem]

This comment made my day! Thank you so much!

[@ppuffr]

Very pleased to find this tutorial. I am making little girls' clothes for donation and the instructions on the pattern were disastrous. I was ready to give up because the pictures were very hard to see and understand. Before I gave up, I found this visual tutorial and it will work for me. I imagine several of the patterns I use will have plackets and your instructions were enlightening. Thank you so much!

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad this helped you! I hope your projects turn how exactly how you want them to!

Awesome. Thanks!

Hi friend!!! Thanks for this!!! I needed it!!!

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad! :D

[@c.w.3750]

I like all your tutorials!

[@HattoHem]

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that!

[@Sew_Learning]

Thank you!! Fantastic tutorial!!

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@SeSeMittens]

Thank you so much for this! :D I was really stuck on how to do this and your explanation helped me to finally get my head around how I can do my skirt closure ^_^

[@HattoHem]

Sounds like this video had perfect timing for you! I really hope it makes this technique easier for you!

[@SeSeMittens]

@@HattoHem Absolutely ^_^

[@helenwood3199]

Thanks, Maggie. I came into a 1940's p.j. pattern. The instructions are sparse. The pants use a woven waistband, not elastic. There's no pattern piece for what they call the extension and facing. I suppose it is expected that a seamstress would automatically fashion these from small rectangle scraps of the fashion fabric. I suspect your continuous placket is the intended method. Your instructions are clear. 😃

[@HattoHem]

Oh, wow! That's interesting! I think I probably would expected it to have been rectangular scraps of fabric as well, but it sounds like this is a good alternative! I'm glad you found this video helpful!

[@firewings42]

Thank you for this sew along instruction! The text for inserting a placket on my pattern was not clear and this made it super easy!

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad this helped! I've definitely know what it's like to read some pattern instructions and have it just not click. I do my best to make things as clear and easy as possible in my tutorials!

[@raetroll]

THANK YOU, i have been on placket insertion quest and this vid is the simplest cleanest method i've found and your instructions are perfect. A+.

[@HattoHem]

I'm so glad it helped you! I'm hoping to make a second placket video to show when it's on a seam and made with two pieces, but I need to wait until it comes up in a project that isn't under a tight deadline.

[@michellecornum5856]

AAAAAAAH! (sweating profusely) My mother is the master of plackets. I -- never learned. I can do one in the seam -- kind of. Thank you for this. Stay well.

[@HattoHem]

I just have this placket and the plackets I put in my Victorian skirts in my arsenal. Maybe I'll make a tutorial for the basic placket technique too!

[@michellecornum5856]

@@HattoHem Please do!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Congratulations. Thank you for posting. I am delighted that you have such a clear and well described materials list. I like how you show options & talk about what to do in similar circumstances (eg: lined skirt)

[@HattoHem]

Thank you very much! I do my best to include a material list when I made a tutorial. It was funny, as I working on this video, I kept thinking of more to add as I went along, like how to do this with a lined skirt. I'm glad you appreciated the inclusion!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

@@HattoHem I found it very much like Mrs. Crocumbe teaches front placket construction 😊😂

[@HattoHem]

@@catherinejustcatherine1778 I've never seen that video, but I'll have to check it out!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

@@HattoHem It's a made up title. I am imagining that it's the sort of thing Mrs. Crocumbe might have taught. However, the Historical recreation show just models/teaches cooking. Annie, the Professor who started the show might be interested in branching into sewing & mending demonstrations, but, probably not. Bernadette, Cathy, Morgan & all do so well with historical sewing tutorials already. My joke was that your pacing & presentation was like the extant cooking show. There's some lovely recipes on it though, maybe treats or dishes to make for your own household.

[@HattoHem]

@@catherinejustcatherine1778 Ha! I'm sorry the joke originally went over my head, but I'm getting a kick out of it now!

[@KenZchameleon]

Thank you for this! I'm making a simple circle skirt with side seams (with pockets!!). I don't want to give up a pocket for a "standard" placket, so I'm being crazy and will have a placket about 1" above each pocket on the sides. Am I crazy??

[@HattoHem]

Possibly a little crazy, but all the best people are ;) I hope this video helped and I hope your skirt turns out exactly how you hope it will!

[@KenZchameleon]

@@HattoHem I'm learning that I don't know as much as I think I do about sewing and seams. I saw you have a nifty seam gauge/guide thing. I saw Noelle and Cat have it, too, but I don't know how to find one. Where did you get yours? Again, I'm so thankful you made this tutorial. I just saw your Bridgerton video and the dress is amazing!!!

[@HattoHem]

@@KenZchameleon I have a link to the seam gauge in my description. I do my best to link all of the equipment I use in my video descriptions, at least the ones I use in the video. I'm glad you enjoyed my Bridgerton video! That one was a bit of a whirlwind!

[@KenZchameleon]

@@HattoHem Thanks! I normally look through descriptions more carefully. Maybe I should have my coffee *before* getting lost in KZbin ..

[@HattoHem]

@@KenZchameleon if it's any consolation, I rarely remember to look in the description :)
