How to sew a Button Down Shirt - Pattern Reading Tutorial - Sewing for Beginners - Tock Custom

I have been quarantined with bronchitis. You video was absolutely the best use of my time and distracted me from feeling so bad. Thank you for helping save my sanity!!!❤

Can you discuss in detail fusible interface. There appears to be variations in it and I'm not sure if it's thickness or quality.

Thank you all your tips! I know how to sew but you really helped me on sleeves and pulling through the notches.

Started sewing about two months ago, and this was an incredible video for me to transition to more intermediate patterns!! Thank you so much!!

I know this video is three years old, but you had mentioned making a tutorial for long sleeves in here, is there any chance that's still on the roadmap? No worries if not, but I really enjoy your teaching style and could benefit from that as I've heard the long sleeve variations can be quite difficult

Incredible! You totally rock! Now I understand why are recommended.
Please, I have one question..
When you pinned the sleeve to the armhole you had a bit of extra material at both ends.
Can you explain why that happens and what has to be done with the extra material?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with such patience and passion😊

This video has taught me a lot. I started my first botton down shirt. Im sewing with a handheld singer quick stitch mender. I'm saving for a sewing machine. I forgot to put the markings on to match up the sleeves. After I traced and cut out the pieces I threw away the pattern trace paper. Is there a way to match the sleeves without having to start over?

The reason i started following you is because i want to make my own scrubs. for male nurses we DO NOT have any variety in these stores and i would love to how to make my own uniform. I hope this reaches you I know this is an old video.

Hi could you please show me how to make a shirt from patterned fabric .

I go back to this video each time I make a shirt - patterns so often neglect the technique aspect of things and this video addresses that very well.

Has anyone covered how do you pre wash your fabric?

Wow! Just found your channel. What a great tutorial. This is perfect thank you so much. So detailed and that’s exactly what I need lol 👏🏼

thank you so much for doing this patten. as a visual learner this makes it a lot easier. have you made a video of doing the long sleave yet?? and really looking forward to your next commercial patten pleas keep up the good work as we need as many men sewers as poss. (from wales uk)

Help, how do you match multi-color fabrics!?

You really need to work on matching the fabric pattern to get a nice look. As it is, the eye goes straight to the mismatch which is glaringly obviously wrong on the coffee themed brown shirt.

THANK YOU 🥲

Please continue making these tutorials. This is the best one I’ve ever seen. Thankyou for explaining everything so clearly and detailed

Is it more of a pain to iron the hem and then sewing, as opposed to rolling and sewing?

I found my sewing guru

I like the drag and wiggle technique to line up the fabric.

Thank you for this marvellous tutorial, confidence making for hesitant sewist

I find it videos very instructive. I’m a beginner and have taken on the making of flat Caps. I was wondering if you could do a video on one. Please and Thank you.

I appreciate your precise instructions very much! I seen the yoga pants twice and currently working on the button down shirts. I also was able to thread the serger, thanks to your instructions. If possible I would like for you to demo a pair of men’s dress pants and a sports jacket or a complete suit please. Thank you! 😅

Hi I'm from the UK and a total novice at sewing and I just watch your videos and learn so much from them thank you,I have difficulty in getting the correct fabric say like T-shirt material 100%cotton then when I get it it's more for making pillows bed sheets, so i have bought quite a lot of crap😢 what type of fabric is this that you are making this shirt from and keep turning out videos thank you cheers konrad

that shirt looks store bought that's how good it looks!

I just finished making the mock up using your video, and i feel so confident cutting into the nice fabric now! I tried using the pattern and got up to the button straps and then they lost me. Thank you for such a great and clearly explained video!

You have made it where I can understand some of the lines on patterns. Thank you.
I think it's odd that everyone snips nothches, but you don't sew them. I just think that's funny.
Your voice is so good for teaching. Thank you.

I love to sew clothing ~ and am so glad I stumbled upon your video ~ Thanks for your clear cut, thorough instructions~ great for even seasoned, old sewists like me.

I'm a big fan from Egypt

This is one of the best explanations of the men’s shirt I’ve ever seen!!!! BRAVA!!! I recommend you buy a topstitch foot.

If I missed it I'm sorry but did you have a tutorial for doing the long-sleeve with the cuff version

The bottom shirt seam. Sew a 5/8" basting line the entire length. It gives to a line to work off of.

Good Job on helping me make this shirt. I am trying to make shirt d and i don't know what part 23 means doing a split in the to attach the cuff on mcCall's 6044 d shirt. can u help???

I love you tutorials but I have a very stupid question. Why would you have to trace the pattern? Why can’t you just cut it out from the pattern that you buy in the package?

Step 20: what does "baste close the fold" mean? Also, when sewing the back to front panels, through the arm pits, do you have a preferred way to sew through the the arm pit edges ?

My mom always just taught me to cut out the tissue paper

I keep coming back to this video because it keeps me from making mistakes. I was gifted a sewing machine and decided that pillows and such were too easy for a beginner. I made my first ever project (this style of shirt) following your tutorial. It was not only a success, but my mother (70 years of sewing), sister (45 years of sewing), and niece (15 years, and a degree in clothing design) all were beyond impressed with how well the shirt came out. I owe this and credited such to your tutorial. Because of your video I now have a passion for sewing and tailoring my own clothing. Thank you again sir.

Did you ever do the long sleeve version of this ???

I can't reiterate enough the numerous comments before me of what a wonderful teacher you are! I think you're the first male teacher I've listened to in a predominantly female craft and quickly found I prefer listening to you and how you teach. You clearly and concisely explain everything in a smooth easy going manner which makes it easy for someone to listen, watch and really learn what you're showing. I had no clue of how to read or start beginner sewing with a pattern but you broke it down, clearly explained each part and showed it's really not that complicated. Btw, your voice is audio listener's gold! I'm mind blown, haha! I have only quilted with my sewing experience (20+ quilts), but have wanted to learn how to sew clothes but was intimidated by it. My grandmother was a seamstress (made all my high school dance dresses), and did alterations for people so this skill has been one I have wanted to learn. Thank you, thank you for your videos and offering to teach this skill. Subscribed!

thank you!! this is really detailed, it’s everything that a tutorial video should have. 🤩🤩

JUST TAKE YOUR BEST FITTING SHIRT, SEAM RIP IT.
BREAK IT DOWN, IRON IT, COPY IT, AND SEW IT. LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MACHINE, CLOTH AND ACCESSORIES.

Love this!! You can also use the coverstitch machine to do the hems on the sleeves and bottom hem..but you'd probably have to do that before sewing the side seams...just a thought. Great video.

I followed this tutorial for the size small copy of this pattern and it was so good!

I feel like the sleeves are narrow and restrictive at the arm pits, but I did have a ton of trouble attaching the sleeves. I wonder if I missed something about the pattern. I ended up with a whole inch of extra fabric on either end for the sleeves because the cutouts on the torso was that much smaller

I'm so grateful for you. You're an awesome teacher. I'm going for this pattern as my third shirt. Now I see where I've made my mistakes. I'm doing view E with the yoke. Any tips? I'm not sure if it's a burrito roll or being used as two latter's of fabric as one. I think it's that.
Thanks and God bless

We’re did you get the book with the introductions??

I can’t tell you how excited I was to find your channel. I first watched your video on how to read a pattern and then I’ve already made 2 button down shirts. I retired in 2017 and have taught myself how to quilt among other things. My Mom as well as my Mother In Law were extremely talented seamstress. Have you posted anything on how to make men’s shorts?

Ty for ur tips! Enjoyed your videos a lot! Where do I get patterns? They seems like not selling them anymore (!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏽la meilleure vidéo que je n’avais jamais vu. Celle-ci est superbe

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

Where do you buy your fabrics?
