Exposed Placket For A Bishop Dress
In this video, we'll learn how to create an exposed placket that adds interest to the back of a bishop dress. The placket allows buttons & buttonholes to be used so that the dress stays closed when worn, which doesn't always happen with a hidden placket & snaps.

Best tutorial ever! I made the CC Frannie baby and searched for a video and you had one. I made it perfectly from your instructions. Had tried twice before using some other instructions they made my loop look terrible
Very vital point to help see various pattern sizes. Thank you!
Nice
Do you have to have Adobe Pro, which costs $20 per month, to get the layer tool?
It should be available on the free version on a desktop or laptop. Mobile devises don't work the same, so there may be issues with seeing/using layers on those.
Thank you very much! The tutorial made it so easy for me :)
Thank you for a great tutorial! This is exactly what I needed for an outfit I’m sewing ❤
Your videos are such a help. Thank you so much! I remember my grandmother using two different terms for tucks, regular "tucks" and "pintucks". This brought back great memories.
Thank you for this! very easy to follow and I just sewed a beautiful button loop
Very helpful! Thank you! 🎉
Thank for sharing. From Thailand.
Thank you so much from New Zealand! You made something that looks really hard, really easy, and I'm so happy with my button-hole loop 🙏🏼
But how about if you don't want the button holes to go sideways and you want them to go up and down on a blouse?
This is excellent
So easy once you see how. Thank you
Thank you!!
Your videos are the best! Love how I can really see all the details of what is right and what is wrong and that you give each step of the process. I'm taking your Heirloom Notebook class in September you're teaching for our SAGA chapter and I am SO excited!
Very good loop tutorial. I have to confess I had to watch a few times because I kept getting distracted by the lovely little dress you were working on. A really super piece of sewing, the detail was so pretty and precise. A lucky little girl who got to wear it. 😊
Scaled up, this would make a gorgeous nightgown for an adult. Like me! If you want to make an experimental nightgown that will fit me, I don't mind.............^_^
Lovely work. But I had no idea that bobbins had tension, never mind it can be adjusted! >_<
this was so great! I have a ton of embroidery floss I can use for this!
Thank you for this. Tried to pull my dress off over my head and snapped the elastic buttonhole loop. This is exactlly what I was looking for to repair it.
Thanks Kathy! You made that very easy to understand.
Thanks, just about to do this on a top.
Great video Kathy! Been sewing for years, but never heard anyone pull all the gathering threads. Really like the way it looks, and I am going to try it!
I have been wanting to do this with some contrasting fabric in my stash. Thank you for your informative video
Hey there
Love the contrast placket and the scallops as well
What exactly is the app we need for Mac? There are so many readers. Can you show a pic of the actual app.
It is called Adobe Acrobat Reader and it is a free download.
My gosh it’s such a pretty loop! Thank you for such a wonderfully thorough tutorial 💐
Where do you buy patterns. I would love to learn and try this
I sell this pattern in my Etsy shop - kathysheirloomshop
Thank mama , i just usevyhat method on a customer blouse Jamaica 🇯🇲🎉😊
Great idea I’ve got loads of embroidery thread so can match anything and not have to make fabric loops which are a pain I can now relax with a cup of tea and do my loop 👍🥰
Thank you so much! Very easy to follow and helpful. I learned something new <3
Thanks! Copied this video to fix my partner's romper and it worked perfectly.
This was a wonderful video. Thank you! I'm making McCall's 8069 lounge dress for myself and was looking for a technique for attaching the button at the neck and your video was super helpful and just what I was looking gor.
Thanks for sharing your technique. I was able to repair one of my wife's favorite shirts with this method.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation video!
Fantastic video, since they are multicolores, do you put focus on keeping the same sequences ? I mean keep the purple on top and then the pink …… and so on. Thanks
Hello Kathy, I just purchase your pattern, Suzette, since it is my first time smocking, it would be nice to make a tutorial with the pattern. Thanks!
Thank you for the helpful video Kathy!
Thank you for the info and great tutorial!
Very well explained & helped me a lot!😊
Thank you so much for sharing this! Many of my Granddaughters' activity locations now require clear bags, not allowing traditional purses. This will work wonderfully! 😊❤
Beautiful! 😊❤
Thank you! I will be trying this! 😊❤
Thank you! I've been teaching my Granddaughters to sew. I think we'll be trying our hand at heirloom sewing this summer. We'll be making baby clothes for my future Great-Grandchildren! 😊❤
This hem would beautiful on aprons! 😊❤
your work is impeccable! thank you for this tutorial
Thanks for the very detailed video. Just wanted to know what is the red accessory and where it can be found.
if you are meaning the red "finger" showing on the sewing machine bed, that is a pintuck accessory that is specific to my Pfaff sewing machine. Not all machines have this. It helps raise the tuck. You can always tape a coffee stirrer (disposable) or a toothpick to the machine bed to get the same effect.
Hey! Found you on tic toc...yeh!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Hi Kathy, love your tutorials! Where is your beautiful pin stitch tutorial?
