How to Make a Button Up Shirt From Scratch

[@jobe2301]

In this age of technology, machine-made, and quantity-over-quality.... you are precious to humanity! People who craft by hand are invaluable, indispensable, and vital treasures.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

How very kind of you to say. Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@gamersthumb3723]

Attempted my first shirt ever yesterday. Twice. Twice failed, as I only see cosplay and never actual functional clothes, watched this video now I know all I did wrong! Thanks a lot

[@jamesnurgle6368]

I'm afraid this is no more hand made than anything in Primark or the maxx. they lock children in shopping containers for 12 hours a day in the baking heat to make our clothes because capitalism is great.

[@True_MrYasaki]

But you understand that THE humanity IS choosing quantity-over-quality ? xD If they weren't, there wouln't be that many shitty clothes out there because they wouldn't sell ;)

Your tutorials make me realize how much love went into my dresses, shirts and suits and dresses my Mother made for me. She was trained in England when she was 14, when they took up a trade after completing their education. God bless you for sharing your knowledge

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Indeed. It sounds like you had a wonderful mom who made you all those clothes.

[@TheEnigmaPV]

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!!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wonderful and good on you for making your first shirt. I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Thanks for watching and greetings to yourself and your mom.

I'm a 71-year old man who just took up sewing a few years ago. I've sewn several commercial shirt patterns, but always wanted to give drafting one from scratch a try! I've got a pot belly and usually wind up going one size bigger for a comfortable fit!! I know I came across one of your videos on how to accommodate big bellies, so will review that and give a making a shirt from scratch a go. Thanks again for your excellent videos and I will post with any further questions. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with the sewing community!

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]

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.

You really know how to organize a lesson and focus on things that are useful and not already obvious. But there are a lot of other things, too. Your editing is good. Your sound quality is good. You have set up your background in a great way. You are using good lighting and depth of field. Your diagrams are great. Your delivery is great. You are absolutely nailing it. Nice work.

@@CorneliusQuiring thanks! I just drafted the basic shirt pattern. Do you recommend making a muslin of that for fitting before drafting the rest for this pattern? Or making this whole pattern as the muslin? Taking a math brain break for now!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Yes, I suggest getting the basic draft right first. It's a bit more work upfront but will save you a lot of time on the back end once you get to making the button up. Happy sewing.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

[@qutfashionstudio5761]

You should try using a 1/4-inch seam on your neckline and collar pieces to help you have an easier time sewing them together. At least on the collar stand and neckline, if not the top collar.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

This is a great tip. I hadn't thought of that. Also, I learned how to make a coat lining from your bomber jacket series. I'm rather chuffed to see you in the comments. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@polinanikulina]

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!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience Polina. This is great advice for myself and for others watching the video/reading the comments. Indeed, the little details do matter. Happy sewing.

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.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

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!

[@GeordanSaunders]

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]

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.

watched this video and also the drafting one but am having problems with fitting my collar piece it always seems smaller advice

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Make sure to measure the stitch line.

Cornelius, question. When adding the center pleat in the back. Why would you not just add it in the middle instead of the sides?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That works as well. It really comes down to preferences!

what an amazing video! Thank you so much!!! May I ask you a very big favour? can you make a tutorial about man tie? there are some on youtube but none of them seem to be the proper way tie are well made. One again I thank u very much indeed for sharing your knowledge

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for the suggestion. I will consider it for a future video.

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!

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.
