Just found your channel . Great content and thorough instructions. I will be working my way through all your videos. You are obviously talented. Thanks for taking you time to teach us.
I see you've got an older Janome machine, Nice. I've just purchased a newer computerized Brother machine which helps save time immensely for me, especially when making waistcoats! I am in the process of perfecting making shirts and I love this video. I prefer double cuffs at all times, it's a comfort thing
Have you thought about using French seams? I find i can get a super tight seam along with it looking neater and being quicker than me trying to do a flat-felled seam. Theyre a pain if you have to alter the shirt though...
I expect it's difficult to alter the shirt to make it bigger anyway I would agree it's probably much quicker, but I figured the point of flat felled is to keep the seam flat with the rest of the cloth rather than the French seam sticking out from the fabric.
@@Dotbotdotbot overall I expect that anything can be used. I only suggest to keep in mind any effects you do or don't want to have when making these decisions, like the colour of the cloth/interfacing👍
Pardon my ignorance; I've done precious little sewing in my life. The only time I ever had to sew a button hole was for a quick 3 day project in a college class where the professor showed us how to do it on a sewing machine. is there a reason you do it by hand?
@@lasersight70 I actually misread at first. I thought you asked if one could sew a *button* by machine. Sewing a buttonhole by machine is fine too, especially on shirts if you have the machinery for that. Although like you've said I have touched the topic of hand sewing buttonholes by hand.
@@testnametestsurname1032 I use the same canvas for each part of my shirt here. I wouldn't say I have a favourite, the one linked in the description is just the only one I found. Also you'll mostly find people using fusible interfacing rather than a shirt canvas which I have no idea about either. I guess this doesn't really help at all..
London. I learnt the draft from a video on my university video platform. The make from a domestic-shirt maker. I need to thoroughly remake this video, among others, in light of new knowledge
In bespoke, typically much more dense. Often about 1.5 on the machine, if the dial is in numerals, or about B if it's alphabetical. I don't remember the stitches per inch though.
May I make a suggestion... The use of a material that has a noticeable Right/Wrong side would make it easier to follow the process.
Thank you, this video should be my top priority to fix, so I'll get an appropriate material
Amazing video and process of making shirt.❤
@@alisonbruno2192 thank you, but this method is something I need to change to update and correct
@@caffeinatedtailor I understand, but it's still wonderful. I love it.

First time of watching , what a talent , lovely. How long did it take you to master tailoring. Thanks for posting video.
I've been learning for maybe 4 years by now. But this video I'm not too happy with anymore, it needs to be updated. Thanks though

You definitely can
@@caffeinatedtailor I was going to ask why you might hand sew it instead, but I just found your video on that topic. Thanks for the reply!

@@caffeinatedtailor Hello. Can you elaborate on your favorite interlining materials for the different parts of a dress shirt?
@@testnametestsurname1032 I use the same canvas for each part of my shirt here. I wouldn't say I have a favourite, the one linked in the description is just the only one I found.

Wow the amount of depth on the side seems at the waist point reminds me my youth days 😢😊
I'm enjoying it while I can🫡
@@caffeinatedtailor I’m sure you do 😉👍
Great video. Out of interest, where are you based and where did you learn your craft?

What size stitch should be used on a bespoke shirt?
In bespoke, typically much more dense. Often about 1.5 on the machine, if the dial is in numerals, or about B if it's alphabetical. I don't remember the stitches per inch though.
1mm is what you would expect on high end bespoke shirts.
so ok bro... you down...
