This is the best explanation of this placket I've seen. Very clear instructions. What is the cut width of the bias tape????
Depends on what you like, but I usually try to match the width of the placket, so if the placket is 1" then the width of the bias tape would be about 3" or so 1" back and front +1/2" for the folded edges).
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thanks so much for the quick reply!
Thank you very much. Great tutorial. 🥰🥰🤩🤩🧵🧵
Love your tutorials! This is now my go-to channel whenever I need help with sewing- everything is so clear.
Thanks Alisa, a great video once again. ❤
I have been sewing for years, but have never seen this explained so well. Your method looks so much easier than the explanation on pattern instruction sheets.
Wow that was a detailed tutorial !! Thumbs up for your precise ad very clear explaning. Although I have been sewing for 45 years I always like to watch iyou to see if there is anything I can do differently ( because I am self taugth.) Loved this one Alisa ! 😍👍
Thank you so much for the clear vedeo
Thank you.
Thank you so much Alisa, I always have difficultis to get a nice placket, this video was esactly what I needed, so clear and easy to follow, even all the difficoult parts and the little details! Next time I wan't fail to get a clean placket! Thanks again 😃💜
My pleasure! That's what I was aiming for - to get it as clear as possible so that way next time it is a breeze
I remember sewing plackets they are fun. I always liked the finish product. I would add buttons. I am going to use this more often. I think it gives garment more finished look.
The most comprehensive instructions I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much!
Excellent tutorial thank you 🙏
Excellent tutorial.. Im learning such a lot from your videos even though I've been sewing over 45 years! It's also encouraging to discover that I've been instinctively doing the right (and sometimes wrong!) things. Thank you so much for making things easier to follow. I love all of your videos. 🙌
Been sewing for yearrrrs & this is the best example how to do packets! TY so much!!
BEAUTIFUL LADY!!, I THANK YOU VERY MUCH!, for your easy to follow and understand thorough tutorial.
You are an EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR!! 😀
I can't wait to make this placket! Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. You are a wonderful teacher!
Thank you what a very good demonstration.
I love your channel! I love watching you problem solved and sew to perfection.
The best teaching technique!!
I have a very simple top pattern that I use a lot because it’s easy and it fits well. This is a great way to change the neck line and maybe dip my toe into pattern drafting? Alisa, thank you for everything. I can do this 🎉
Deb, it is my pleasure and i am happy that you are finding value in these videos! I feel the same way - when you have a good base (pattern block or sloper or just a basic pattern) then sky is the limit. You can customize anything - necklines, cuffs, sleeves, closure options, added trims and what not. Definitely dip your toe into pattern drafting - it is amazing and so freeing, because then you can do anything you would like!
Thank you for this!!! I have a cute Henley shirt that wants to get made, and this is exactly the tutorial I need!
Thank you very much for this video Alisa.
My pleasure! :)
Wow! That looks like a lot of steps! But if it makes a sharp neckline, I'm gonna try it!
Thank you so so very much for this detailed & organized lesson.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, Alisa! That is the best instruction on the button placket that I have seen! You explained each detail! Super!
Glad it was helpful! I was hoping that extra details will help with the clarity of the tutorial!
Thank you for your great explanation.
Haha, Mommy. Bandaid on the finger! I love having a placket at the neckline, or a henley.
I saved this one to my sewing tips playlist. Your instructions are always so detailed and easy to follow. I’ve used your facing video and bias binding videos as a reference during recent projects. Thanks for another one to add to my library!
Your instructions are always clear and direct. My only suggestion is that for newbies like me, using fabrics that have an obvious right and wrong side. So often I struggle with understanding if I am putting right against right or right against wrong. Having white fabric on both side is hard. Those that just put Xs on the wrong side often don't realize that gets covered up as they are manipulating fabrics for sewing. I think you do a great job but making the fabric faces obvious would be a big help.
Brandon, hi! Thank you for the feedback, to resolve that on your end - just practice this technique a few times with your own fabric, whichever you prefer and you will understand which side needs to be where. Practice helps build your understanding and skills!
Brandon K: I agree, I was trying to figure out was she on right side or wrong side also during the last part. At least she had lines drawn with different colored pens, that really helped.
This was a great demo of what can be a difficult technique for many of us. I also appreciate the demo of bias neckline finish. Which of your videos will show how to complete the back neckline and connect this front bias pieces to back neckline at shoulders. Thank you.
Wonderful thanks ❤
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Di! I appreciate that!
very good explaining.thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Please make a video that describes how to draft and sew a button up shirt. Or do you already have a video about that?
And also, it would be fun to see a video about sewing a sort of a bit warmer shirt/jacket.
Thank you for great videos!
Susanna, please go and look at all of my videos on the video tab on my channel, thanks!
great video. I have several shirts with this type of collar but that have a pleat at the bottom of the placket. Could you make us a video for how to create that? Thanks!
One other way to make a placket is to only have one placket lip visible and that would be the underneath side of the placket opening. The other side (top lip) would be the reverse of what you are doing and it ends up inside folded back from the edge of the opening. That way a plain side is what is visible when the placket is closed and a buttonhole could be at the top of that side; with the button sewed to the other lip of the placket underneath. A slightly different look that might be somewhat easier than doing the topstitching. I saw this featured twice in Threads magazine.
Would you mind linking an article or something?:) The technique sounds interesting although I have a hard time picturing it! I googled it but couldn't find an article about it.
Thank you for this video! I've got a Henley tee coming up! I'm getting my pattern ready for it now. Is there anything else I need to take into account when doing this in knit? I'm especially concerned about adding the neck band.
Hello, you are demonstrating a 1-inch placket. What if I want only 1/2 inch finished placket width on a knit garment? How do you construct/sew such a narrow placket? This would be for a nightgown.
Thank you for this great video. How do you complete this placket neckline with a facing?
I have a 40 minute long video about 4 different techniques to complete necklines, including facings, please go and take a look - it will help answer your question. I have a link to all how -to videos in the description of this video.
Would this work for making a button placket?
When I try to sew close to the edge, my material pushes up into the gap in the sewing foot. Why is this happening?
I have had that happen just a few times and I don't really remey why it did. But You might want to try a wider presser foot, if you have one in your sewing machine kit.
