Oh, Noreen!!! Thank you. I'm now ready to try this for the 4th time and know I will be successful. Yes, I always had problems with the stretching out from cutting it down the middle. This is my kind of tutorial. Thank you.

[@monicavanhuystee2634]

Noreen, what a great tutorial! I bought the Breckenrudge several years ago and have been hesitating to sew it because of the band. Having seen your tutorial I feel much more confident and am ready to start. Now I have to go back and watch you other videos! Thanks so much.

[@LoveNotions]

Noreen is amazing, isn’t she?! ❤️ Thanks for watching! ~J

[@dharmert6487]

Thank you very much for this great video❤. Now I have a better understanding and can finally use this pattern.

[@LoveNotions]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on your Breckenridges!! ❤️ ~J

[@jerriscott288]

Thank you for this video. I really appreciate your details; both in what you describe and the camera work!

[@LoveNotions]

Noreen is amazing, right? ❤️ So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!~J

[@suek7086]

Oh thank you, Noreen! That is a huge help. I have a Breckinridge to finish and more to make and this helps. I appreciate your tutorials a great deal and look forward to them.

[@LoveNotions]

On behalf of Noreen, you're very welcome! Hope it makes those Breckinridges go a lot smoother! 😉 ~J

[@WobblyBiped]

Fantastic video with clear explanations and tons of common sense. Thank you!!!

[@LoveNotions]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching! ~J

[@purllletteknit9103]

Both your mom’s and your house are beautiful. I agree that creativity and personal expression is important to mental wellbeing. Your story of never being able to buy a buttoned shirt that fit resonates with me, that’s probably why I really like sewing button up shirts. Thank you for sharing.

[@LoveNotions]

Ah, so glad you enjoyed Noreen's story and video! ❤️ Thanks for watching! ~J

[@karendiesner5008]

That was so useful! I can see myself using this technique on other LN patterns I have as well. Thanks so much, Noreen! 😊

[@LoveNotions]

I will pass along your thanks! ❤️ So glad it was useful for you. Happy sewing!! ❤️ ~J

[@kathyrussell1818]

After buying this pattern when it first came out, it has sat unmade because I was so intimidated by the placket . I’m going to give it a try now. Thank you

[@LoveNotions]

So glad Noreen’s tips gave you the confidence to conquer that placket! Happy sewing! ~J

[@lesliekirby1929]

I have stalled out with this pattern because of this application, I've watched many How-To's but yours have always helped me the most. Thanks!

[@LoveNotions]

I'm so glad Noreen's instructions helped you, thank you for watching! ~J

[@suebray3633]

Wonderful tutorial Noreen.

[@LoveNotions]

Noreen is amazing, right? ❤️ Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! ~J

[@dausmer]

OMG, thanks for this simplified technique. I made this pattern once and have never worn it in public. It made a nice night shirt, Now I am ready to give it a try again, hopefully with better results. Thank you so much.

[@LoveNotions]

I’m so glad you’re going to give it another try! I hope it’s a huge success! ❤️~J

[@culturedpurl4470]

Thank you, this is perfect timing! Using this particular pattern for Christmas jammie tops and it's in plenty of time for holiday sewing! Love the accuracy of your necklines. I enjoy your teaching videos-Blessings to you

[@LoveNotions]

Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for watching! ~J

[@LoveNotions]

Woo hoo! Good to know you came from TikTok, thanks for watching! ❤️ ~J

[@bonniedonovan1664]

Thank you for this video, Noreen. I haven't made the Breckenridge yet, but now I feel like I can tackle it and get perfect results.

[@LoveNotions]

You’ve got this! You’re gonna love making Breckenridge! Happy sewing! ~J

[@marilynhardman5239]

Thank you Noreen, your instructions are clear and concise. The first placket I made was a big lumpy mess, I will certainly be using this method in the future! 😅💐

[@LoveNotions]

That’s awesome! Glad you’re on your way to smooth and polished plackets! ~J

[@sunedaze7215]

You do such a good job of explaining things!Thank you!

[@LoveNotions]

So glad you found Noreen's video helpful! Happy sewing! ~J

[@janetmiura3906]

Thank you for the excellent video. I've been looking for tips on perfecting an inset placket neckline and I think you've come to my rescue. I'm looking forward to applying your tips on my next Breckenridge as well as other placket necklines. Love your videos!

[@LoveNotions]

On behalf of Noreen, thank you! I hope you love your next Breckenridge! Happy sewing! ~J

[@nicolaweyers9457]

Great video. It is so well explained. You are a really good teacher. I have done two Breckenrigdes before and it was really tricky. With your method it seems much easier. I will try this soon. Thanks for your time.

[@MikeCarolJones]

Fantastic tutorial Noreen, thank you.

[@LoveNotions]

[@sunneerakowitz4385]

[@phoebewilkie3021]

As expected - wonderful!

[@LoveNotions]

Agreed, she really is amazing! Thanks for watching! ~J

[@Lorij83]

If only I had seen this a couple of days sooner. I am working on a hoodie for my grandson. The neckline would have looked so much nicer if I had followed your tutorial. Thank you for the great tutorial.

[@LoveNotions]

Ah darn! Well, I hope you'll still find it helpful for future projects! ❤️ Thanks for watching! ~J

[@janicek6399]

Its a beautiful job Noreenn

[@LoveNotions]

Agreed, she did a fab job! Thanks for watching! ~J

[@brendabender5227]

I like the technique especially marking the interfacing ahead of time and not cutting the opening. I never saw when you sewed your regular stitch. I understood that u basted the neckband on. Did you remove the basting? Does the top stitching secure it? 0:15

[@LoveNotions]

So glad you enjoyed the video! I'm sure Noreen will pop in at some point to answer your question. 😊 thanks for watching! ~J

[@sherryfuerst6435]

Magnificent! Thank you!

So glad you enjoyed it! 💕 ~J

[@LoveNotions]

So glad you enjoyed it! 💕 ~J

[@vminifie837]

Lots a good ideas lady, thanks so much

[@LoveNotions]

I hope Noreen’s tips helped you conquer that placket! ~J

[@KoolieMum]

what a helpful video, thank you!

[@LoveNotions]

So glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! ~J

[@divergentone7491]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@LoveNotions]

So glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! ~J

[@dianedean521]

Thank for your great video! Would like to suggest that you use light solid colored fabrics to allow for better visibility.

[@LoveNotions]

Will pass that on to the team, thanks for the feedback! ❤️~J

[@joannet8373]

Have you considered using a stretch or Jersey needle to eliminate skipped stitches?

[@wrappedinthread733]

lol! I do have a needle that doesn’t skip but I was too in the zone sewing to remember to change it. I’m always real in my videos so maybe it will encourage someone that I get wonky stitches too 😁

[@janedrolet2807]

I have made this pattern twice, and I think this is a great technique. I think I would hand baste rather than machine baste - I get a better result. My Grandmother insisted on hand basting when teaching me to sew. I am 70 now and I wish she could see my sewing.

[@LoveNotions]

It's so special to carry on your grandmother's legacy of sewing! If hand basting works well for ya, keep doing it! ❤️ Thanks for watching! ~J

[@dancetoday542]

Fabulous thank you. I saw Noreen use the neckband pattern piece, but is that ok every time or do we have to measure, depending on fabric.

[@LoveNotions]

It's usually fine, but if you find your fabric is stretchier than required, you can shorten, or vice versa. 😊 ~J

[@janekelsch2801]

I really appreciate this tutorial as I knew there must have been a better way to sew a placket and I’ve finally found it! I have two questions…Why don’t they show it this way in the tutorial, so we don’t have to seek out better ways? And what brand is that beautiful little iron you’re using?

[@LoveNotions]

There's a lot of different ways to do things and Tami adds what she thinks is best and easiest to understand when writing the tutorial. Not sure about her iron, I'm sure Noreen will respond once she has a chance to read through comments. 😊 Thanks for watching! ❤️ ~J

[@janekelsch2801]

@@LoveNotions Yes, that makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I love Love Notions patterns. I wear a Sloane at least once a week! ❤️

[@KathleenBanfield]

I wonder if this would work with the Presto Tunic? I was struggling to create a perfect packet on mine.

[@wrappedinthread733]

I tried it and it does with a bit of a modification! Because of the angle and the yoke you can’t keep the cf un cut BUT you can sew the yoke down each side and clip after sewing so you are clipping exactly where you’ve sewn to (instead of sewing to where you clipped) and you can still flip it under and sew across the bottom exactly like this. It worked perfectly!

[@KathleenBanfield]

Thanks! I wish i had known this before i sat down at the machine. ​@@wrappedinthread733

[@joann1917]

What kind of knit are you using?

[@LoveNotions]

I'm not sure of the exact type, I just know it was random knits from her stash. But I will ask her! ~J

[@laurahovey391]

I found the explanation and tone to be lovely but (and maybe it’s my screen or eyes) with the patterned fabric, the match between the neckband and the bodice, and the white thread and white back of the fabric, I found it really hard to see what was going on. I would love to see this with a contrasting bodice and neckband and a thread color that stands out.

[@LoveNotions]

Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos! 😊 Glad it was still helpful for ya, thanks for watching! ~J

[@patperuski177]

I love your videos, but have one request. It was difficult to see what you were explaining with the pattern of the fabric. Maybe use a solid fabric so we could see what you were showing a bit more clearly?

[@LoveNotions]

That's a good suggestion, and one we try to consider when possible! Maybe we can get Noreen a fabric sponsor so she doesn't have to just use what's available from her stash (especially since she's sewing to wear, high contrast thread isn't always ideal for day to day.) She's doing the best she can with what she's got, we're so grateful she's able to share her sewing knowledge with us! ❤️ ~J

[@ZeldaSews]

This was great. Thank you.👍
