My nemesis was the placket on long sleeve shirts. I fought with the way patterns told you to make them and gave up on two shirts I was working on for the longest time. All things in time and one day searching for the answer I came up with this video done by the Sewing Guru, yeah thats what he calls himself. Well it is simple, easy and just requires some ability not to burn your fingers with a steam iron. Link below. Ive used it on three shirts now, the two I stowed away and a newer one, and they come out looking quite sharp. Thought I would share this as patterns really have a cruddy way of explaining plackets......
Shirt plackets made easy
Haha, there are a couple of DIY places on the forum here perhaps we should get a sewing corner for all this trade of great information.....
