Hi! I'm a 23 year old guy living in Spain and have been learning how to sew for the last year. I have never commented a video before but I just want to say thank you for this tutorial. I found it a couple months ago and it changed my sewing process of the collar. It is the best one I have seen so far and it has the cleanest collar I have ever seen. I've been using this method for my last 6 shirts and they have all turned out really good. I don't even need to watch the video now since I've watched it so often I have memorized the process :D. Thank you so much!
Your method for fitting that type of collar is genius…. I have been making these with the laborious method which leaves you clipping and finishing by stitching in the ditch etc etc…. Once I’d seen your method a light came on, it’s so neat, no little bits to hand sew and all clean finished in one go… thank you for sharing 😊
This is just the sort of content I’ve been looking for. Patterns available at your website followed by video tutorials. I’ve learned so much and I’ll be finishing up my baby romper today. Thank you!
Firstly, I love rayon, then, of course, the style of your shirt. Thanks for explaining the steps so well, the burrito that gives the nice finish on the inside of the shirt and the collar finishing.
Hi Melly, I realize that this is an older video but I am trying to sew a Hawaiian shirt for my husband and son so that they have matching outfits when we go to HI to attend a wedding. This is EXACTLY the pattern I need. As a beginner, I literally take every step, word and movement into consideration when watching a demo from an expert like yourself. So far, I was able to catch on with all of your vocabulary words such as yoke, placket, right sides of fabric, etc. and instructions, but please slow down a bit (4:05) when you pin together and move fabric pieces around. I am really trying to grasp how you are pinning this "puzzle" together. Please consider the "newbies" and beginners who watches your videos. Thank you!
Melly - this is one heckuva video. I've sewn many mens shirts and always knew their had to be a way to sew a shirt without hand sewing anything. I know they're not hand sewing in shirt factories! Using a McCalls pattern I had on-hand, I followed your video. Now I have to say, there were a few places where I slowed your video to 0.5 speed and played it several times. The inner yoke that people have mentioned was one place. If you ever remake this video, perhaps use some pieces with contrasting coloring. That minor quibble aside, I'd give you a hundred upvotes if RUclips allowed it. Thanks for sharing your technique! Hubs is going to have some cool new shirts in his future.
This is one of my favorite Melly sews video... It's whimsical and fun, with your husband looking down, with the boritto... It's just great! You should make a matching one for a kid or baby, or maybe like a button up overall for a kid or a baby...
This is such a great tutorial. I just finished my first shirt for my husband after drafting a very simlar pattern in his size. I plan to make many more thanks to you. This is such a good general casual shirt for men. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this. I have a butterick vintage pattern that didn't fully explain this in a way I understand. You make it look easy peasy! If I can talk hubs into a matching shirt, I will definitely buy your pattern! ❤
Hello from Indonesia! Thank you soooo much for the pattern and a very clear explanation here! I'm so happy I can make a collar shirt for my husband! You are amazing. Thank you! Terima kasih😘💕
WOW you are amazing at explaining this entire process, I found it so concise and informative and easy to watch. I’m so happy I’ve found your videos!!! 🥰
Hi Mel, I would love a sew along for a men's long sleeved button down shirt with sleeve cuffs etc. There's so little out there in terms of teaching this exact skill, and you're a great teacher!
Thank you so much for this, and the pattern! You make it look easy. I think my guy will need a medium large, so I'm looking forward to practicing my resizing chops - much more engaging than jigsaw puzzles!
This is my first time sewing a shirt. I had to pause, go back several times, but I did it with your video! Only problem is I use a treadle machine. No surger or zigzag. So after I sewed the seam I sewed a second seam close to the edge, best I could. My shirt came out great! I need to make it a little bigger.( I used your pattern) Do you have a video explaning how to alter a pattern? Thanks!
There are over 1000 posts on my site with tutorials. I’d suggest using the search bar in the menu there to look for the specific alteration you’re trying to do mellysews.com/tutorials/
What a fantastic tutorial!! You explain everything so great, and that point turner and button gage are really neat, I definitely need them. I’m so excited to try and make some shirts for my husband and son!
Melly, I also happen to be a Melly....my friends call me Smelly Melly..from childhood. Anyways, you are a Master Tutor! I’m making a basic men’s shirt from a certain main stream pattern company. My gosh, the instructions were so poor, I thought I would have to leave the project! However, your tutorial saved the day! Thanks Melly!
Hi Melly, in this video you talked about finishing seam edges using your serger. I just bought a serger and am learning how to use it. I would love to see a video on how you finish the fabric edges using the serger. Do you disengage the knife or just serge the very edge so the knife doesn’t cut the fabric? And do you use the four thread overlock or three thread? I know that different brands of sergers may be a little different to use but would like to see how you do it. Thanks, and the shirt for your husband is great!
Thank you for this useful video. I still don’t know how to get measurements and create pattern. Do you have any video to instruct this step? Thank you,
Great tutorial, thank you! The only thing I'm confused by is that you mention notches on the sleeve and back/front piece (and I have used other patterns with notches, so I know what you're talking about), but no notches have printed on the pattern, just the outlines 😟. So I'm not quite sure how to line up the sleeves with the armscye...
Great video, any tips on how to measure for a mens shirt? I have a 48" chest with a 36" waist.. and a long torso which makes finding a shirt that fits impossible. So I am going sew my own shirts. But I have no ideas on where to start for measuring.
thanks Melly. I cut out a pattern I found online but the directions were not very clear. i was having big problems sewing the pieces together until I saw your video.
I have a very light and flowy Polyester fabric and wanted it to stay flowy. Is it possible to not use the fusible interfacing or will that not hold the shape enough?
It depends on how loose you want it in the shoulders. I used a very light poly fabric for the version I'm wearing here and still interfaced. mellysews.com/mens-shirt-pattern-tutorial/
Hi Melly, I love how the collar is put together with the facing sewed in the collar without the facing edges sticking out like in other patterns. where can I find this pattern with the same techniques you used in different sizes. thank you for this informative video. 🙂
I just finished the shirt and it’s amazing, thank you so much! However, it’s a little too snug on the shoulder width and arms, do you have a video explaining how to make the pattern bigger? I’m worried if I try myself my pieces won’t line up in certain areas
You can certainly adapt these techniques to sew other patterns, but this isn't going to be a step by step for a pattern that isn't drafted the same way.
Hello. Can you share where you got your pins? I like them long for I have chubby fingers. I find the commonly available pins in the market short for me.
The only way to make this video better would have been to use a less busy fabric and use different colours for the back vs the front, so it is easier to keep up during the assembly.
While that would make it easier to see on video, I don't like to sew things that won't get worn, so when I have to choose between what will get worn vs what works on video, I choose what will get worn.
This is my first time making a men's shirt and adding sleeves and I'm having trouble fitting them together. When she says "match at the seam line and not the raw edges" does that mean there will be rippling in the fabric? Or should it look perfectly smooth? I really can't seem to get these sleeves to work. I've even remade the pattern and recut the sleeves and yet I still always end up with at least an inch of extra fabric.
When you are sewing a concave to a convex curve and adding seam allowances, the concave curve will be longer on the seamline than the raw edge and the convex one will be shorter on the seamline than the raw edge. So the sleeve as drafted and the armscye as drafted match on the seamline only, not on the raw edges. Incorrect seam allowances, remaking the pattern, changing the size, etc, can all make them not match.
I would love to see a video showing how to cross a felled seam with another felled seam, like where the sleeve and sides meet in the armpit of ambition up shirt. I've been making my own shirts, and I just can't get a clean crossing.

@@nataliadiaz1145 No offense to you, but I think it is very kind of Melly to share the pattern with us in exchange for very little compensation (I paid $2 for the PDF). Making patterns is hard work, and from many places I've looked, even PDF patterns cost at least $10. She did explain how to size up/down patterns in one of her blog posts. I also think figuring things out is part of the fun when you're learning to sew :)

I’ve never used interfacing before, is there a certain type that works best ? And do you just iron it onto the wrong side of the fabric before sewing?
All about interfacing here: mellysews.com/types-of-interfacing/
Is this the same as the little boy shirt you made? This is going to help me with the boys shirt. I think.
I don't think I have any little boy shirts without a collar band, so that part would be much different.

I’m still confused on how you put in the yoke for inside part
My suggestion would be to actually try it, pausing the video as much as needed. It might make more sense to you when you actually do it.

This reply may be too late but I slowed the video down in some places such as this one. Go to the Settings gear on the video, pick Playback Speed. I chose 0.5.
What size is this?
Details in the blog post linked in the video description

Thanks
For a beginner you go way to fast
RUclips has a speed option in your settings. You can slow the video down to your taste.
