Shirt Making for Curves

Button-up shirts are a classic wardrobe staple but are notoriously tricky to fit at the bust if you have big boobs, often resulting in gaping or tent-like fits that don't flatter curves. This course takes you step-by-step through the shirt-making process using the Harrison Shirt (sizes 12-32), which features double princess seams for a uniquely curve-friendly fit that won't gape or tent over your bust. You'll learn all the elements of classic shirt construction, including a two-piece collar, yoke, placket, separate button bands, and buttoned cuffs. Whether you're sewing your first shirt or want to improve your techniques, this course provides professional tips and methods that go beyond typical instruction booklets. By the end, you'll have mastered techniques like smooth princess seams, clean button band finishes, sharp collar points, and the "burrito" method for perfect yokes—giving you the skills to create beautifully fitted shirts that work equally well in crisp Oxford cottons for the office or cozy flannels for weekend wear! The Harrison Shirt is available to purchase separately.
