How to Sew a Front Button Placket - Florence Dress - Sew Me Something Patterns

Miss Sew shows you how to sew a placket in the front of a garment.
This technique is used when there is no centre front seam on a blouse, shirt, dress or top. The placket is added to create an opening on which you can add buttons and buttonholes.
The video shows the pattern pieces from the Sew Me Something Florence Dress Version 1.
The machine used in the video is a Janome 230DC.

Really great video. I have this pattern and have only made the plain front one as not confident to do the placket! Feel a bit more confident about tackling the placket with this great video. Thank you 😊

Thank you for watching! So long as you’re really careful with the stitching and clipping then it will all work out well ☺️

My first placket, without a pattern, came out absolutely perfect. Thank you so much!
