- STEP TWO- THE CLASSIC SHIRT The first shirt looks at all the codes of what makes a great classic shirt, we teach you how to make a great shirt with all the "trimmings". This allows you to alter and curate the styling of any shirt you wish to make in the future. As we teach this you can add or subtract details to make sure the shirt is what you need. We will look at button plackets, cuffs, two piece collars yokes, sleeves. As we teach these we go into further detail about this is class- we love hearing your views and questions too!
- STEP THREE- THE FASHION SHIRT. This pattern pushed your ideas further, we continue on with the knowledge of the classic shirt and explore more contemporary fashion ideas through volume, shape, detailing and trims. Here you can play with ideas that you have, what you think will suit you and adapt the outlines to work best for your outcomes.
