Excellent workshop

Loved the pace and detail of the workshop, highly recommend! So thrilled with my overshirt, I’ve already cut out another in heavier twill.

Taking instructions from Hetty was a joy. Her steps are clear and concise. First time sewing flat fell seams. My project turned out professionally sewn both inside and out. Best online instruction I’ve received. I look forward to learning and completing more projects!

Nice pattern, nice finishes, but the instructions not so much

I like the care in the finishing and I have learned a lot that I have then applied to other garments, however this obsession with precision to the millimetre sometimes plays bad tricks. Unless you are working with a very fine fabric, it is impossible to fold a fabric twice the same amount. And if you sew with 1 cm seam allowance (sleeve plackets, for example) I don't see how you can cover that seam with a fabric folded one centimetre too. So, yes, I like my overshirt but if I make it again I will try to remember not to follow the instructions to the letter and check where it is necessary to add a few mm to the pattern.

Hi Valentina, yes this is always the case with shirt making, different fabrics will be a bit more bulky to turn over and that's most noticable when pressing the cuff placket. In the workshop we do actually encourage people to fold the placket as per their fabric and allow for a little extra on the seam allowance if needed. I hope you like your shirt and enjoy making more in the future!
