Sewing instructions

General steps to sew this garment. Seam allowance is 1 cm (3/8") unless stated otherwise.

Supplies

  • Denim or canvas
  • Buttons
  • Matching thread and the right needle
  1. Prewash and press your fabric before cutting so it will not shrink after sewing.
  2. Print the pattern at 100%, check the test square and cut the pieces following the cutting list. Transfer notches, darts and button marks.
  3. Use topstitching thread and a denim needle; finish seams with a decorative double topstitch.
  4. Attach the yoke with the "burrito" method: back between the two yoke layers, then the front shoulders.
  5. Prepare the patch pockets (hem the top, press the edges under) and topstitch them in place.
  6. Assemble the shell: back, side and shoulder seams; press each seam as you go.
  7. Sew the two-piece sleeve (top and under sleeve) and set it into the armhole, easing the cap.
  8. Interface the collar and stand. Sew the collar, turn, topstitch and sandwich it between the stand layers; attach the stand to the neckline.
  9. Interface the cuffs, sew, turn and attach them to the sleeves, matching the pleats.
  10. Mark and sew the buttonholes, then sew on the buttons opposite them.
