Great sewalong! I have sewn several button ups so far but this is the first time my cuffs and collar are so successful! Thank you for sharing your tips!
Thank you so much for this video! I used it to sew 4 Cameron shirts and I have so much affection for that pattern, the thorough instructions, and then your help too. I've loved your narration and exploring your other videos - thank you for creating a fun environment and encouraging us to find methods that work for us, rather than getting stressed as to whether or not we are doing it perfectly 🙂 You rock!
My far one of the best videos I’ve seen on sewing a button up shirt. I love sewing these types of collared button up shirts, there’s something so satisfying about it and I am more of a Visual learner. Thank you for all the great tips.
Wow! You are an amazing teacher! What a wonderful instructional video for a classic shirt! And I will forever remember to tell my fabric who is boss! 😂
I love this class and I have saved it on my UA-cam channel or account whatever it is called. It’s better than any Skill share or Craftsy class that I have ever taken. The calming way in which you teach…the “you can do this” …etc. you are the boss of the fabric…love it! So helpful! Thank you for everything you do.
Just watching this ahead of making this shirt for my hubby - first time ever making a shirt so lots of new stuff to learn but I’m scared now as swing the cuffs looks just like sewing a jeans waistband but smaller scale, and I’ve not perfected one yet 😢. I’m getting there so this is really going to test me 😮. Thank goodness for your tutorials 😅
You got this! A shirt has a lot of fun details that can be tricky. But we only get better by trying. If you don’t make 15 of them first, it’s a lot of pressure to expect great results on your first one. Be kind to yourself! I also have a dedicated video for cuffs so you can always return to it. And I sew waistbands just like this! How to Sew a Bias Sleeve Placket ua-cam.com/video/PsIXwHkXyiM/v-deo.html I also have one for the collar and collar stand: ua-cam.com/video/2lSRJdtd-Q8/v-deo.htmlsi=Aq9GQqFHACZoBRCz I sew the collar and cuffs the same way in the CAMERON video too. And you can look at the time stamps and return exactly to those points if you need. But if it makes you feel better, cut those in scraps and try one first. Your husband is going to love it so much no matter how it turns out!!!
Thank you so much for your reply. I already use your tutorials for waistbands on jeans and it’s because of those I know I’m improving each time I do them so I have no doubt this will really help with the shirt 👕. The fun begins on Sunday 😂
Oh, this was soooo good! I have been so annoyed by the small corners sticking out from cuffs and collar stands - now I know how to handle them! Can't wait to make my next Cameron. I also love your sense of humor. 😀
I loved watching the construction of the tower plackets on the sleeve. I've never seen those before and they have always seemed like such a mind bender, but not it makes so much more sense and I'll have to try them sometime.
They kind of are a mind bender! I have a dedicated video for them in the Quick How To playlist too. I explain a little better what’s happening just in case your pattern is different.
Thanks so much for this - U am just putting the buttons on my first Cameron shirt now. I’ve shown other shirts before and struggle with cuffs and collars, Your tips were SO helpful!
Is there a name for the yoke technique you did instead of the burrito method? I like how you did that instead! Much quicker and easier to understand as an advanced beginner.
You know, my chat and I jokingly call it the Taco method. But it’s my own technique. When I started sewing a long time ago the pattern instructions told us to sew yokes like this in a really difficult way. There wasn’t a burrito method back then either. So I figured this out on my own. I even didn’t tell anyone around me because they were all older sewists and I felt like I was cheating. 😂 but it works and I get perfect results every time. I have a little video about it: ua-cam.com/video/2PbpbAq3xuk/v-deo.htmlsi=FyXvsR13ClxPL1X_
I made 5 of these shirts with your steady guidance each time
Holy moly! You’ve made many more than I! You’re a pro!

Nice job! Thanks for watching!
This is such a great video. I am sewing another button down but have followed your video through all of the tricky parts. Thank you for this.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for some very helpful tips and tricks
I’m so glad it helped!
Excellent instructor
Thank you kindly!
Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you 🙂
Fabulous! Using fabric with very obvious right and wrong sides helps a lot. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Despite doing these steps before on a couple of shirts, I really like the hand holding, play by play instructions. So here I am again. Thank you.
also, the thumb moves on the collar stand is priceless!
I’m glad it’s helpful Blair!
I don’t remember what these are but cool! 😂 (I’m thinking it’s when I press the seam inside the collar to make it curve).
Best use of my thumbs all day! Brilliantly deep teaching!

Thank you! And congrats on your cache of Camerons! How awesome!
Excellent video. Things are so well explained and demonstrated. And no off topic distracting chatting. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Very well explained, and for me, just the right pace and level of detail. Thank you!
Glad it is helpful!

How wonderful! Thanks for saying so Polly!

Awesome! Don’t take no for an answer. 😀

Excellent! But those Skillshare classes are pretty fun haha! I model my time stamps after those short chunks!

Genius way to transfer tower placket markings!
We do what we gotta do, right?
You make it all look so easy. I don't even wear button-down shirts but now I want to make one.
Haha! Well you know where to come if you ever do. Thanks for watching even though you’re not making a Cameron!

De rien 😁

My pleasure!
Thanks for the Super a chat Joyce! That was generous of you.
I appreciate you getting me through that sleeve tower and collar. Your sew along was very helpful.
I’m really glad it worked for you. 🙂 Happy sewing Joyce!

@@SewSewLive That's great! I think Taco fits well 😄
@leighthomp Who can say no to tacos? (Or burritos for that matter 😉).
