Thank you. Just starting to do some more sewing and the instructions on my pattern for how to do a continuous lap were unclear. This was very helpful for someone who has never made one before.

I'm enjoying the small tutorials. It's very informative to watch someone demonstrate a technique, even if it's not new to me. Love your patterns too!

Thank you for sharing this! I've done a few shirts with this placket and ruined it each time LOL. I was thinking about redrafting the placket on a shirt I want to see, but thanks to your tutorial, I'm going to try again. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing this. I tried doing this based off instructions from two different patterns and it baffled me. This was so straight forward

Lovely explanation as always. FYI, seam guides. Those magnetic things are called seam guides.;)
