Thanks for the very informative video. I've bought the pattern as a result. One suggestion, though, for future similar videos, please use a darker fabric that doesn't reflect the camera lights. A lot of the video was washed out making it hard to see what was going on.
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. It's going to make my job so much easier.
So true. I was squinting half way through the cuff part
Fantastic job Norris. I'm not so scared to try a mans shirt now. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills, we know how busy you both are with the fabulous magazine and all your other projects, plus your lovely family. Kind regards Kate from the UK X
Cannot tell you how many times I've had to watch certain parts of this video. Very helpful. Especially with the cuffs and collars. THANKS!
Hi from Australia, a tremendous thanks for your great video on making this simplicity shirt. I have done basic and some costume sewing for many years and wanted to start making clothing from scratch with your video enabling me to achieve this. Great stuff and I look forward to your future videos.
Fabulous work. I've wanted to sew a dress shirt for my husband and was so intimidated by all the pattern pieces and the skill involved I wouldn't even attempt it. Now, since watching you make that beautiful shirt, I can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial, and your amazing talent.
I have been looking for a pattern like this for ages. please make a men trousers Mimi G and Norris
Thank you please do more videos ❤
I’m not scared of shirts anymore 😅😊
This is a fantastic video great instructions, just loved it. For us beginners sometimes it is hard to see what is right and wrong side. A contrasting darker fabric may make it easier to follow. You kept this so simple I really appreciate it.
Agreed. Great video, I learned a bunch, but a darker fabric would be more helpful.
Definitely need darker fabric. I was thinking it was my phone color 😅 good thing u seen it also.
I wish Norris had a podcast I could fall asleep listening to. His voice is like music.
This was my boyfriends first ever sewing project and your video helped soo much! such a clear tutorial! And the shirt looks amazing on him! i agree with a previous comment about the shirt colour being a bit difficult to see right/wrong side, but everything else was brilliant! Thanks x
I've been wanting to start making my own shirts for a long time, but have been really intimidated by all of the cuts and steps and things that are outside of my usual areas of expertise. But hey, that doesn't look hard at all.
So, I'm going to run downstairs and get started. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done!
Thank you very much. I'm a very beginner and this video really helps me. Also, the speaker has a very pleasant speaking voice.
Fabulous video so clear and easy to follow! I never thought I’d be able to make a man’s shirt I thought it would be far too complicated but this sewalong has given me the confidence to go for it! I’ve already bought your pattern and now looking for fabric. Thank you so much! 😊 xx
Has anyone actually made one? I have. It fits amazingly. It was my first project for myself. Was very glad to have someone help me with the issues I normally ran into. I have to admit. You do have to have a bit of sewing knowledge to do this project. My sewing skills are probably just above novice. Honestly he left out several things. That is where the skill set comes in. I have made a couple of quilts. Quilts are all straight stitches. Mateing a sleeve to the body of the shirt is substantially more difficult than a straight stitch of a quilt. The video makes it look much easier than it is. But follow along and you can make it happen! I did not really have a problem with the light fabric. Only slightly.
What would you say was a challenge for you?
Great job Norris. I have been stuck on a man's shirt pattern for a year. Now, I am able to complete it thanks to this video.
I am now inspired to try a man's dress shirt. It's really an intimidating project but I think I could do it with this video as a guide. Very well done. It's so clear, breaking everything down and making it look so easy. Great video!!!
Wow, this video was so helpful! I was sewing a different pattern, whichhad crappy instructions. This was just what I needed. Good explained and concise, without the whole blahblah. Thank you so much!
Congrats on a well made shirt! This project is not beginner level so props to taking this on!
Way to go Norris! You make it look easy! Thank you for your hard work!
Norris you are a god send! I’m new at sewing and it is so difficult for me to understand the instructions on the patterns Thank heavens for this tutorial you saved me. Excellent! You and Mimi are a good team. Just love her tutorials and made quite a few of her projects. God Bless - Peace ✌️
Wish a different color fabric was used or the lighting turned down. I just bought this pattern simply because Mimi G's sew alongs are the truth. I'm a beginner and I have made three of her patterns simply based on these videos and I've subscribed to Sew It Academy
MyUncut Reality I agree...I can't tell when we're working with the right side or wrong side of the fabric. It's pretty frustrating since I just spent hours cutting out all this fabric.
Finally!!! I've searched and searched for this type of tutorial. Thank you so much for demystifying the men's shirt! Agreed men's trousers next please!!
wow, what a lovely calm and detailed tutorial. Thank you so much Norris, I am definitely going to try this. Kind regards from the UK.
I really appreciate the help you give on creating this shirt. I was mystified with the construction from the pattern, but this has demystified this for me now! Great sew along, and I’m gonna now attempt my pattern finally! Thank you!!!!
Good job Norris, I've been making mens shirts for years and I'll say you did a great job,keep up the good work awesome!!!!
I picked the French cuffs and I am working on my third shirt. Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.
Great tutorial!! I like this young man, very easy to follow.
Thanks for this really great video. Fantastic to see a guy sewing, Norris did a wonderful job of walking me through the pattern. I'm going to have a go at making this shirt. Hope we get to see more of him. Greetings and best wishes from North Wales, UK. :-)
Thank you! You’re very organized and easy to watch. Really appreciate your sharing.
I'm new to sewing and appreciated the video. The instructions helped me through the confusion of the pattern instructions.
excellent Norris I got this from Mimi G's 2017 conference I will sew this shirt for my hubby thanks to this tutorial
I had to make a shirt today and I learned so much from this video! I'm thankful I found it. Thank you so much for this video!
Great Job. I have been intimidated by menswear but have received requests for it. I can give this a try.
Great job, Norris!!! MIMI thanks for this pattern. my uncle's birthday is next week!
I just love how simple this was I have been looking for five years for an easy to follow tutorial with shirts in general.....and note no sergers were used
Yeeess Norris yeesss great job! I'll be helping my son sew a few of these shirts! Now we need a pair of trousers and a vest!
I was watching all happy and then you started stitching the placket and started out at a regular speed. Then all of a sudden it was going 100 mph and I was buggin' because I thought dang that's a fast machine! Then I realized the speed was up to get through the seam for time's sake. LOL! I felt like a goober head sitting here laughing at myself. This is a great video. I have this pattern and I've made it several times. I'm gonna bust it out and make it again after watching this post. Thanks for your work. Also, I too would really like to see men's trousers! That would be bomb.
Ok you guys make sewing look so freaking easy love it !
Thank you Norris. Your tutorial was very helpful. I have made several shirts for myself using this pattern.
Just bought this pattern and I'm so happy I found this tutorial!
Thank you for this excellent tutorial and pattern!
I’m trying to clone an existing shirt with the same component parts but had no idea how to put it together, so this video was super helpful! Thank you 🙏
This was very helpful and I like the way you explained each step--thanks!
Grabbed that shirt pattern as soon as I saw it! It’s really hard to find a real classic shirt pattern that has all the correct ingredients! Thanks Mimi! I use David Coffins marvelous book on sewing classic shirts but it’s from the 80s and I needed some more modern design help!
THANK YOU so much for this tutorial. I just finished my first shirt and it came out great thanks to your guidance.
It is so nice that someone has thought about doing a tutorial on sewing patterns. Wish I had this when I started sewing. For years I have pleaded with sewing pattern manufacturers to include an online tutorial for their patterns. But they won't. One of the issues I noticed with this tutorial occurs around 3 minutes into the video. When describing how to fold the fabric for pattern piece #1, Norris says that "you will do this for both sides." This can be confusing to someone new to sewing or at least new to sewing button shirts. In sewing there is the wrong side, the right side (the side that usually faces out), the the left side, or the right side (of garment). It would have been better to have stated "you will do this for each front piece."
very clear and understandable. Bless you and your teaching.
Very good tutorial. I am getting ready to make my first dress shirt. This helped so much. Good pacing!
Great Job Norris....well done:)
Thank You Mimi YOUR THE BEST❤️❤️❤️
I am not doing the same pattern, but similar in many way. This was really helpful in to understanding better how it fits together and has answered some questions I was having. First time doing a shirt for me (though it is an old west style) and first time in a while sewing (last was a pioneer outfit for my daughter for school).
Thanks for the tutorial. Lighting was an issue, but I appreciate the effort. Men's slacks next please.
oh yeah!
That was really a great tutorial. I am now going to try this pattern. If you could show how to do the button holes then I think I could really tackle this project. Thanks so much.
I love your patterns and that I can sew along with you. I've been following you for a while! I love your growth. If you could one day could you make a simplicity pattern for a men's fitted blazer/sports coat??
This is a great tutorial! Norris did a great job leading the sew along! 😊 Mimi G thanks for adding a men's shirt to your collection. I'm excited to buy this pattern and make one for my husband.
Excellent video and instructions that are clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Great tutorial. please keep them coming x
Thank you! Awesome tutorial
Thanks for your sharing this awesome tutorial. May I know the yoke part( sandwich sewing) the wrong side facing the back of shirt or the right side ? a bit confused. Thank you
Like the vid very much. I have been looking for a video exactly like this. This can help me create my own shirts following along or alter a bit the measurements to create my unique style. Like the video. Now I'll be looking one for coats. If any questions, I'll post them here.
Excellent video. Thank you!!!
Great video! Sewing a similar shirt today and found that the second page of pattern instructions is missing from the envelope. You saved the day! 😊
So helpful and instructions were clear and concise !
Well done. Thank you for sharing. Have fun sewing, later.
You've done a great job, sir. Now, I can't wait to make something for my husband now. what kind of fabric would you suggest?
Whoa, you make this look SO easy! Now how about doing a video on sewing a man's shirt with a mandarin collar & a welt pocket. I'll bet you'd make that look simple too!
Thank you for creating this video but can you create another one with a different fabric and better lighting with better instructions.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
NICE...Like the fabric too.
Thanks for the video, this really helped me! Nice pattern btw!
good video was looking forward to this I bought the pattern
You're great, Norris.
What is this 'inner facing' word I keep hearing? What is a placket? I guess I need to Google! :D
I agree that darker fabric would be better for this tutorial. Also, what kind of foot were you using? Looks like a standard 'J' foot. I could see the straight stitch being used. I hate pockets on shirts, so one nice thing about making my own is that I can leave off the pockets. :D I would also leave off the back loop.
This video also made it clear that one needs an iron and ironing surface nearby when making clothing. I like that you sped up some of the sewing and pinning sections to keep a good pace.
It would also be helpful to explain why you start and end with a backstitch. I know this already, but maybe it would be nice to share why you're doing this. I know this isn't a basic sewing tutorial though so I guess this omission isn't too big of a deal.
Good tutorial. Thank you!
Could I use a 100% Rayon Plaid fabric for this top? I'm interested in making a flannel/plaid shirt for my husband and I love the slim fit of this top. I purchased it yesterday and I'm wanting to make it this week. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :-)
Really great pattern and sew along. Love the insutructions, really clear and easy to follow. But it would really help if you could use a fabric so we can see right side and wrong side, and also light it so we can see a little more clearly (it's really bleached out on a pale coloored fabric). .
This is a great tutorial! Thanks!!
I’d love to give this a go, but what happens to the raw edges inside? Surely they’d fray over time?
great tutorial! thank you!!
Great tutorial, thank you
This was a great video thank you 🙏🏻
Definitely use a darker fabric next time....
The video brightness was not adjusted to the room light hence it is washed out.
11:00 I always knew there was a better way to attach collars! I love your method! Do you have a short sleeve version of this shirt? Thanks again! It’s nice to be a male sew enthusiast and have a male to look to and follow.... keep doing it!
Love this. Could you think about doing amens series for large and tall men. One shirt alone can cost 75.00. Please!
So I have a size 17 1/2 in. Neck, which according to the pattern is a size 48 in US. And my body is a size 40, of I cut out a size 48 for the collar and collar facing, will it be to big for the 40 neckline? Or will the size 40 collar fit me when it's done
This is an amazing help for me....just a quick question, how do you finish the seams inside the shirt? I'm assuming you don't leave them as raw edges? Thanks 👍
Thank you for this very good tutorial. A few questions: is there a video that shows how to mark and cut fabric with patterns? I know I'll miss something in that process. If I want to add collar stays, is it the same process as adding the front pocket (except on the piece of fabric that makes the underside of the collar and really narrow)? I'll add to the chorus of requests for darker fabric or more care with the camera exposure settings.
I hate to push someone else’s work on here but consider getting David Coffins book making classic shirts( might have the title off a little, I got mine from Amazon)! It is all about recreating bespoke and custom details! It works great with this pattern!
What a great tutorial!!! I cut my pieces and started putting them together this afternoon. The video is SUPER helpful.
I have only one question, and I apologise in advance if someone has already asked it but I couldn’t find anywhere in the comments, does the collar band have the seam allowance included? Or do I have to include it? I’m struggling to get my collar band to fit. 😅
I would really appreciate some help.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this
Well done. Thank you.
Great tutorial. Thanks. The collar.......should the interfaced side be placed against the neck??
The side you won’t see.
Does this pattern call for flat felt seams? I was hoping to see how you do that. I’m working on simplicity’s 8753. Video is very helpful for the rest. Thanks
Fabulous work! Love how you explained the sewing step by step. Maybe a darker fabric would have been easier to see. Kind of hard to see which is the wrong or right side. Hehehe
for the neck band, what if it doesn't stretch 3/8ths off of the shirt?
Hi ! Online Fabric sites? - any suggestions ... seems locally we have 2 fabric stores, and low quality cloth
Great video, just a question, do you think it is possible to do FRENCH SEAMS when assembling the sides and the sleeves??
doing a similar simplicity men’s shirt pattern for the first time but I want perfect finishes on the inside and I want to try the french seams… yass or nope?
Absolutely necessary for any fine work you do! They’re really easy!
Hello Morris. Thanks a lot for this sew along video. It has been very helpful. On the other hand, Have you designed any other mens slim fit shirt patterns *without the back pleat?* Or mens slimfit shirt patterns *with back darts* ? Please if you have, share a link where I can purchase them. I have been looking for these patterns for a while now. I came across a few but they were not that good. They didn't have a slimfit. So please if you have a slimfit pattern without the box pleat please share the link. Thanks
how would you recommend I finish the side and sleeve seams? because the raw edges stay exposed this way... I wanted to try a french seam but i don’t think it works with this pattern being sewn in this order, does it?
Yes, it will work.
good job.....i love this video
Well explained!!
Thanks I’m doing a project for my fashion class and the cuffs heavily confused me
