It has been awhile, but I hope you find this worth the wait! If you’ve never made a button up shirt before, you’ll be ready to tackle some of the trickier elements of sewing a shirt like sleeve plackets and the burrito method and grow your sewing skills. :)

[@brigrande2933]

Your videos are so well shot and instructions are so detailed and clear. Thank you!!

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️

[@LongHairCarolyn]

I’ve bought the pattern and cut the fabric to make my husband a shirt. He is thrilled

[@SewingTherapy]

Enjoy your Cameron sewing! ✨

[@lydiaevans7019]

Love this. Both the shirt-making techniques AND the meaningful story behind the make. Thanks for sharing!

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you so much for watching! 🤍

[@LongHairCarolyn]

I really appreciate the little explanations under each word. Now I understand what things like stay stitch and understitch mean!

[@Heyreneesews]

Congratulations! On CBC Life! I’m going to Michigan this year. Maybe I’ll see your show.❤

Another great video, you never disappoint! Plackets are my nemesis but you made them look fairly straightforward. As always the shirt turned out really well and I hope your father enjoys wearing it. ❤

Thank you for another great video! I've sewn many button-up shirts, but your explanation and visual of the collar stand gave me an AHA moment that will make collars easier.

[@SewingTherapy]

🥰🥰Thank you!! Sewing collars neatly has been challenging to me and I’ve been learning through great patterns/tutorials! Glad you found mine helpful in some ways!

[@SparkyOne549]

Thank you for putting this video back up! I really appreciate this tutorial, thanks so much.

[@SewingTherapy]

I'm relieved that I noticed I had uploaded the low-quality 720p video and was able to quickly replace it with the correct one. Thank you for taking the time to come back and watch the updated version!

Love the fabric - I would wear it myself! 🧡 We're properly in autumn here in South Africa now so this shirt is looks very cosy and inspiring 🤌🏻

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you! I'm so glad you like the fabric. It's so cozy and warm, perfect for spring and autumn weather. I hope the shirt inspires you to create something equally wonderful for yourself. Thank you for your lovely comment, Jolette!

[@marknofsinger91]

I think I can do this! :D Thank you for such a clear video.

Well you made that look so simple! I'm sure your dad will appreciate it and be proud you made it for him 🙂

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you, Karen! I hope that he feels proud of both me and the shirt that I made for him!

[@dennisflenderson6195]

Terrific tutorial. I’ve never seen the technique of using twine to ease the sleeves and am eager to try it. Thanks.

[@SewingTherapy]

You should try! It’s my favourite gathering method! ☺️

[@krankywitch]

Thank you. I am about to sew my first shirt with collar & stand so it is very helpful to watch you sew those elements. My pattern is different but the process is the same, and now the instructions make much more sense. I hope your Dad really loves his bespoke shirt.

[@SewingTherapy]

You're welcome! I'm so glad that the video was helpful for you as you prepare to sew your own shirt with a collar and stand. Thank you for your well wishes for my dad's shirt - I hope he loves it too! Happy sewing!

[@lubnafatiha1702]

Oh my god. This is what I'm looking for! I've been trying to sew my own shirt but don't know where to start. Your video tutorial is really clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much

[@SewingTherapy]

Glad I could help! I hope you enjoy your first shirt sewing! 😉❤️

[@rosariacarlostella9105]

Many thanks for the Amazing demonstration 😊 😊 😊

Thank YOU for watching!

[@YanamNano-tt5id]

Thankyou Helen for your shirt making video, it thought me how to place the yoke now and have my shirt done after all this years trying. Your video is easy and beautiful.

[@SewingTherapy]

I’m glad you found my video helpful! 🤍 I’m not Helen though! 🤣

[@calyp9]

Thank you sooooo much this is so helpful!

[@SewingTherapy]

😆😆👍👍

[@michaelsanchez8519]

I really appreciate how you use a term and then give a definition as to what that term means. Thats such a small detail that makes a big difference. Thank you!

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! It definitely encourages me! 🤍

[@JH-uv3qx]

One day, when I feel like torturing myself, I'll attempt sewing a shirt.

[@SewingTherapy]

😂😂😂

[@SewingTherapy]

It’s not that bad though! 😂😂

[@JH-uv3qx]

@@SewingTherapy Nah, you are so talented🤝🏼. Shirts are hard🥴. But I'll definitely try in the future.

[@srekashraff]

Probably we need direct coaching. I think this is torturing too.

[@maddtube3175]

it is so stepwise work

[@quyeenng]

Thank you so much for your video 😍

[@SewingTherapy]

My pleasure 😊

[@arthurisaway]

The video was very helpful and sweet but I found the yoke part sewing it to the front part a little bit tricky! I eventually got it right after one failed attempt tho

[@woodschofield3080]

Great Video, thank you! My ambition is to make a shirt. My first attempts to sew have been this week while on holiday at home. I started with six aprons .... so far so good! My ambition remains but I accept I have a lot to learn and will tread carefully towards my goal. Thank you for your inspiration and good luck with your continued career ... p.s. I am a man by the way!!

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you for the encouragement! And I hope you have been having fun sewing!

Thank you!

[@NinosBestEducation]

hiii

[@SewingTherapy]

They are called Craft Clips!

[@selenahermawati8883]

what kind of tools to pin the pocket?

[@mist1382]

thank you for the video :D also , can i do the same with satin too?

[@SewingTherapy]

Yes of course!

[@susanjenningsjones]

Thank you, for the tutorial. I thought I was doing my plackets wrong for this shirt but they did all turn out ok with just folding over. It was hard to see the wrong side on your fabric choice.

[@SewingTherapy]

You're very welcome, and thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry that it was difficult to see the right and wrong side of the fabric in the video! While using a quilting weight cotton fabric might have made it easier to demonstrate the right and wrong sides in the video, I wanted to use this beautiful brushed cotton for my dad's shirt.

[@liviupopa9969]

Genial

[@TheCarlBobb]

Love your videos! It's sometimes hard to follow along when both the right and wrong side of the fabric look the same. This plaid fabric has a tendency to look the same from each side.

[@SewingTherapy]

I make an effort to steer clear of fabrics that might confuse the audience, but I do have a preference for working with yarn-dyed fabrics when creating garments. Unfortunately, this means that occasionally there might be some confusion. I apologize for any inconvenience caused, but I find this fabric particularly appealing and couldn’t resist using it.

[@christinenyarangi3286]

How much seam allowance should I leave for the stay-stitch?

[@SewingTherapy]

Ensure the stay stitch remains within your main stitches. Sew with a seam allowance of less than 3/8".

[@user-ji3id7tr1p]

How can get the pattern draft of the shirt please?

[@SewingTherapy]

It’s a commercial pattern from Helen’s Closet!

[@psalgado]

How joyful it is to see a new video and how beautiful the comment about your dad. Load the name of your account for meanings.

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you so much! It's my hope that through my sewing tutorials and projects, I can provide a therapeutic and enjoyable experience for viewers. Thank you again for your kind words and support!

[@maianas1618]

HOW much fabric do I need to buy to make this

[@SewingTherapy]

Check out the fabric requirements on the instructions of this pattern. It depends on your size and the width of your fabric.

[@maianas1618]

​@@SewingTherapyok ,thanks ❤

[@Melissa-me]

Is this a specific pattern??

[@SewingTherapy]

Yes, I used Cameron Shirt pattern from Helen’s Closet.

[@sarahelliott2046]

I thought i was ready 😭

[@JuanMartinez-xp1vd]

I know this is supposed to be therapeutic but I’m stressing out in just trying to read the white letters over a white background! Ugh 😢

[@SewingTherapy]

I will be more thoughtful!
