You learned all the basic design elements! 🤩 Collar, placket, pocket, facing, button holes WOW! You picked a great pattern to learn these skills. You are now good to go with any pattern. 🥰Take your time and enjoy the process. Getting started is sometimes the toughest because I get bogged down with fabric selection. Sometimes the tracing paper is made of wax. It may come out depending on the fabric. What I do is test tracing paper on scrap fabric before using it and hand wash it. Try using Dawn with Shout spray with your existing stains. That should work. I never heard of air soluble marking pens. Interesting. This was a fantastic thorough analysis of lessons learned for this pattern. 11 hours is as long as it would probably take me. Speed is not important. I like to sew leisurely. Speed sewing is not fun for me. Now on to the next exciting pattern! 👗🎽👕👠
Thank you Grace for this lovely comment! Yes, I do feel like I can do anything now! Lol well maybe not. But I do feel so encouraged in getting this done. Yes, there’s a very well known brand of air soluble markers out there. I did notice a difference in the feel of the newer tracing paper I purchased. I hope the original markings come out. I have a pretreatment stain remover I purchased that I’m giving a try. It worked before so hopefully it will work now. Thanks as always for your encouragement! #ConqueredThoseButtons with your support ☺️
Well done! I still have the first shirt I made twenty years ago. You now know you can tackle anything. 🤩
Wow’ that’s amazing 🤩. Talk about quality!
Awesome job. The shirt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your experience. I’m a slow sewer also.
Thank you! 😊. Let the slow sewers arise! Lol
You did such a great job on your shirt! When I first started sewing cuffs I had the exact same thing happen. I was given some great advice to make sure the cuff pieces are mirroring one another to denote the left and right side. That advice fixed all of my cuff issues. Hope this helps. 🙂
Great tip on the cuffs. Yeah, I think when I cut them, they somehow end up being identical. Definitely will keep this tip in mind. I’ll write this in my sewing journal. Thanks a lot. And thanks for the compliment and for watching.
Congratulations, I am so proud of you. I learned a lot doing that shirt. I still have to do the button holes.
Thanks Vanessa! Those buttonholes were so easy! Yes, this is a great pattern to learn a lot of skills. Thanks for the encouragement 😊
You did it ! And now you can challenge yourself with another garment ,I just challenged myself by sewing a pair of Jean pants the waistband give me a run for my money,but its wearable
Jeans??!!! 👖 Wow. Good for you!! Congratulations!!! At least they’re wearable.
I would recommend that you test wash a swatch of every new marker/tracing paper on the fabric prior to using it on your entire project. Just throw it in the wash when you wash the fabric prior to cutting. Some marker products are wax-based, some chalk, some ink. Combined with different fabric content = unpredictable outcomes. And it wasn’t your fault that the pockets were not cut out correctly. I have never seen such a goofy pocket placement as the one you showed from the pattern company. The pieces should have been all the way on the fabric as there was room. I loved the lessons you learned, especially the first one. Going slow is GOOD. It teaches us to enjoy the process. ❤️
Thank you for this comment and encouragement.
