NOTIONS
Thread: Güttermann Col.02
Button x5: White round with square (not quite the right size but on hand.)
This is my first button down shirt with a facing I am use to collar stands and button plackets. I have been adding extra top stitching. you can never have too much top stitching. I am also serging all seams and edges even when the seam is encased as this fabric has been fraying a lot as I have been working with it.
Noted
For next time.
– add larger seam allowances so I can french seam
– Need to adjust the width of shoulders taking off 1/2″.
– Add 2″ to front chest and front waist (1″ each side)
