Denim Sewing Challenge Button-down Shirt


In this class Students will begin making a button down shirt using a denim fabric. We will be using a pattern from Wardrobe by Me Patterns which is a men's casual short sleeve button up. Pattern chest range from 27.5" to 49.5". This class is part of our Denim Challenge. Take the class, do the homework, return with your finished shirt and receive a unique one-of-a-kind enamel Denim Pin!

This pattern is perfect to make with the wide array of quilting cottons as well as a lightweight denim to add a never ending variety of options over time. It features a double yoke and convertible collar. It includes side slits, two back pleats and a front pocket. For the purposes of this class, Students will be using a high quality 3oz denim.

In this class, Students will learn the unique properties denim including the different weights and stretches,  the stabilizers necessary to complete this shirt and the best way to create button holes in denim. Students will learn to how to set in a collar and have beautiful fell seams.

If bringing fabric with you it is highly recommended you do not use anything heavier than a 3oz denim.

PREWORK: This class begins at construction of the garment. Students should call the store to arrange for early kit pickup, prewash their fabric and arrive to class with it cut out and marked.

This is an advance level class that moves at a fast pace. Students should come with the knowledge to wind a bobbin, thread a sewing machine, know their own body measurements and cut out patterns properly. This class does not include pattern adjusting.
