Thank you for your very informative and professionally made video. I'm going to be making this pattern in the next few days.

I’m going to try making my hubby a shirt for the first time, it’s praying time lol 😊

[@MinervaDotCom]

Good luck!

I am also going to take the plunge and hope he likes it! Would you recommend a contrast lining for the collar stand? Would this work well with a Merchant and Mills linen I bought from you (and have never dared use)? Maybe I ought to make a toile first?!

​@@suebrown5500hi Sue, I'd recommend the Minerva exclusive cotton sateen for this, it's lovely

Thank you for making this tutorial, however, I was hoping you would have shown how to do the placket for the cuff. This is the hardest section for me. X

[@lilysmith8001]

Me too. I kept rewinding thinking I’d missed it!

[@shirleyscott6997]

I know. Sometimes it’s frustrating when you think you are going to be able to make something, and you cut your project out only to find you’re stuck. X

[@joanneroberts1088]

Nice shirt. X

[@thaniavega300]

How did you finish your seams?

[@lilysmith8001]

Looks lived she’s overlocked them after sewing.
