      I'm afraid this is no more hand made than anything in Primark or the maxx. they lock children in shopping containers for 12 hours a day in the baking heat to make our clothes because capitalism is great.

    At 53.9 years of age, I've sewn my first dress shirt using McCall's 6044m pattern. I followed along with TockCustom's video. However, before I started, I watched this video multiple times and adjusted the pattern to suit my needs. My 75 year old mother was very impressed with my finished shirt. This was because you refined my education and saved me decades of practice. I modified the pattern and improved it so much faster. Thank you for the extra education. Keep teaching my brother!!

    You are doing so many things well in these videos. First, you do a great job explaining the information. You really know how to organize a lesson and focus on things that are useful and not already obvious. But there are a lot of other things, too. Your editing is good. Your sound quality is good. You have set up your background in a great way. You are using good lighting and depth of field. Your diagrams are great. Your delivery is great. You are absolutely nailing it. Nice work.

    The shoulder seams should also be moved forward by an inch to an inch and a half. You do good work, and I'm glad to see you open to still learning as you go.

    • @CorneliusQuiring

    Besides the fact that you're such a wonderful teacher and that I will thank you forever for this detailed video, I think that now industrial machines have taken away most of these skills from our culture.

      Yes, I suggest getting the basic draft right first. It's a bit more work upfront but will save you a lot of time on the back end once you get to making the button up. Happy sewing.

  • @polinanikulina
    @polinanikulina Год назад +7

    Your sewing is remarkably neat considering you're not basting before sewing! Pins are faster but only provide a few attachment points, whereas basting prevents weird puckers, shifting and pulling of the fabric as it's essentially a long running stitch at the seam line. Plus, no broken needles, and a perfectly clear sewing line to follow! I'd also recommend drafting without seam allowances, drawing all seam lines, and transferring every point and mark to line up your pieces perfectly. Any slightly stretchy, slippery, or fluffy fabric prone to unraveling would greatly benefit from seam lines and basting, maybe even thread marking seam lines for extremely mischievous fabrics. It's a small change but these tiny details make a difference, much like your right angle trick!

    • @CorneliusQuiring
      @CorneliusQuiring  Год назад +3

      My day-to-day wardrobe is 100% self-made these days (minus socks and boxers). I have a couple purchased coats as well but otherwise, all me :) How about you?
      I hope you're well. It's nice to hear from you.

      I have to admit, most of my wardrobe is RTW. I’m trying to create a thoughtful me made wardrobe. I want to start filling the holes in my wardrobe and invest in quality fabrics. I want my garments to look handmade not homemade so I’m always trying to improve so I feel like the more expensive materials will not get wasted.

    Would you by chance have more information on how to make "fine" dress shirts?

I've seen other videos out there with more information on these topics, but I've been enjoying your content specifically :)

    I just started making my shirt. I tried copying a shirt i like that fits me well. I drafted a pattern. Its not the best, but cloth can be very forgiving. I had to work and ive been gone longer than i thought. Maybe another day of work and ill get the rest done. Ive gotten the sides and back sewn and my collar and sleeves cut and waiting for me. Im excited to refine my skill since i found light blue cotton polo ralph lauren sheets for $15! I have to make that one count.

    Thanks for this video, and all of your videos -- you're creating incredible content, and I'm super grateful to you for taking the time to produce it! I have a quick question about how you constructed the double yoke: is there a functional difference, or a difference in the end result, from simply sandwiching your back panel between the two yoke faces, sewing them together, and enclosing that bottom seam between the two yoke faces along the bottom, when compared to the "burrito" style rolling method you've used here? I'm just trying to understand if the result is actually different and I can't see that, or if it's simply another method to the same end. Thanks in advance!

    • @CorneliusQuiring
      @CorneliusQuiring  Год назад +2

      Correct, there isn't a difference between the two in the end. The reason for my burrito technique is to reduce the chances of error. Using the sandwich technique, the risk of the 2 sides of the yoke not being aligned is increased as you're sort of sewing blind with the layer underneath.
      I hope that helps and thanks for watching.

    Hi Cornelius 👋 I love your video however I see you use different sewing foots could you tell us what type of sewing foot you use in each step. Maybe it is only me who cares, however I think it will be nice so that we could follow you step by step as well. But that is my only critique i have. However this comment comes will a lot of appreciation and thanks so keep doing what you do.

    • @CorneliusQuiring
      @CorneliusQuiring  Год назад +2

      Absolutely and thanks for pointing this out.
      There's a zipper foot that I use when I need to sew close to an outside edge without slipping off.
      The one will the small hole is called a straight stitch presser foot. This one is good for sewing in a straight line and the small hole prevents the fabric underneath from moving as much when the needle goes up and down.
      Finally, I use a regular presser foot.
      I hope that helps and thank you for watching!

  • @katechiconi
    @katechiconi 11 дней назад

    This is very well illustrated and explained. But I have a question. Can I ask why you didn't simply slice up the centre back and open out the amount you needed for the box pleat, and insert a paper triangle? Would that not have saved a lot of re-drawing the armhole and side seam on both sides? Please tell me if that would work or I am missing something important.

    • @CorneliusQuiring
      @CorneliusQuiring  10 дней назад

      That technique could certainly work. The reason I do all the re-drawing is so that I have a nice straight line where it connects to the yoke and therefore falls down nice and straight.

  • @arielmillan8682
    @arielmillan8682 Год назад +1

    Great video, hoping to give it a try soon! What kind of fabric do you recommend? I was hoping to mimic the fabric on my favorite shirts but I have no idea where to start. I believe it’s cotton with some stretch. Any idea? Thanks in advance!

    • @CorneliusQuiring
      @CorneliusQuiring  Год назад +1

      I think it's really up to you and whatever kind of fabric you want. If you're going to have a bit of stretch in there, I suggest perhaps using a walking foot. Good luck and hopefully it turns out as you hope!

    I read somewhere that the white side of the pressing ham is for higher temperature pressing, and the plaid side is for lower temperature pressing, by the way.
    What I'm most confused about is how to measure for a cuff that is curved instead of rectangle (or anything that will be a section of a cone, like a tapered cuff or a hat band). Do you think you could make a video on that, if you think people would be interested...... ? I get that I can measure the length of the curved lines, but don't know how much curve I should put in that length. Thanks!

    • @CorneliusQuiring
      @CorneliusQuiring  Год назад +1

      Yes, the 2 sides are meant for different fabrics. With my specific one, I haven't noticed a difference. Full disclosure, my ham is on the cheaper end which is probably why. 😬
      As for the curved section, that is an interesting video idea indeed. Thank you for suggesting it and I will consider it. The short answer, for now, is that it would be just like I measured the curve of the collar band :)
      Thanks for watching. I hope you're well.

    I followed your step-by-step procedure, and everything went smoothly with precise accuracy and a beautiful finishing touch. However, I noticed that the collar section turned out differently from what you had demonstrated. The stitching on the bottom part of the collar I messed up from the one you had mentioned please add measurements of your in collar part also because your measurements are same as me. If possible, could you please update that specific part? I truly appreciate your guidance as it enabled me to sew a shirt with a wonderful finish. Thank you so much for amazing video I learnt alot from your it.
