Course Outline

Yokes 

Yokes are a shaping seam, a dart alternative for a more fitted look. We’ll show you the easiest method in working with a shirt yoke.

Collar & Collar Stand

Getting a clean even collar stand and pointy collars can be tricky but we got several tips & tricks in getting a pro-finish.

Sleeve Plackets & Set-in Sleeves

Sewing sleeves, especially clean and properly fitting sleeves, can often be quite challenging for beginners and many intermediate sewists alike. The main reason for this is that a set-in sleeve has some ease at the cap. To put it simply, the measurement of the sleeve cap is slightly bigger than the armhole to which it will be attached. We will show you the perfect way to attach a set-in sleeve smoothly without puckers!
