Hey there, thanks for watching with Wendy in this tutorial. I'll show you how to make a denim button-up shirt also known as a Chambray
For this tutorial [you] just need some lights denim fabric as well as some fusible interfacing
That's the kind of interfacing that has a glue side so that when you iron it to stuff it sticks
You also need five buttons to go in the front of the shirt as well as five decorative buttons if you want
there's one that goes up here two that go on the chest pockets and
Two that go on the cuffs
For more details on how much fabric and all that kind of stuff make sure [you] check out the bottom bar for links in
Terms of times this could take you a long time
This is one of the harder tutorials, and I only did it because everyone kept being like do a collared shirt
But it's definitely not easy, so if this is your first time sewing please don't try this one first
[but] if you're feeling adventurous, and you have a day off go [for] it because this took me a whole day
[but] it was fun

Then don't [that's] all for today. I hope you guys have a really great day, and I will see you all next time bye
Lay down a loose-fitting sweater and fold the denim fabric right sides together in half you're going to cut out the shape
That's on the screen here
there's a little bit of a flap going up on the left-hand side and then following the shoulders the neckline armhole and
Along the side and the bottom try to make the bottom a bit longer and a bit curved because that gives a shirt a nice
shape
you're also going to cut out two pieces of interfacing that go down the very center [of] your body and
climb up that tiny Little strip on the Left-hand side
Cut out two symmetrical sleeve pieces by following the shape [that] you see here going a little bit longer than your sweaters arm
And then going all the way to the armpit and curving it up to the shoulder in that s shape
There's also the back piece which is right now shown folded so that I could make it perfectly symmetrical
But it's basically the same as the front pieces only that the neckline goes a little bit higher about an inch
feel free to make the back piece curved a little bit lower than the front piece because that makes it a nice asymmetrical look and
Again on the side with the arm holes just follow the exact same shape the other piece
We're missing is the cuffs make sure you cut out two
Rectangles that when folded in half are a little bit wider than your current sweater cuff you also need two strips of fabric that [are]
About one inch wide and these are called the [plac] x they're part of forming the cuff
In order for our cuff to have a little structure
It's going to need some interfacing to go alongside it so cut out two interfacing rectangles for those cuffs as well
For the caller you need to denim pieces that kind of form this
squared out dome shape as well as one piece of interfacing to give us in Structure and
For the pockets you need to big house straight pentagon's and four little pentagon's to make the flap for the pockets
Who so now you're done cutting out all of your pieces?
First step is to fuse the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric for all the pieces that are shown here [to]
[get] started on the pockets fold and press the top edge on both of the pocket pieces
So that the right side of the fabric is on the outside
Then go ahead and do the same for all the other sides of the pocket
folding in the Corners first and then folding in the whole side
[pin] the pockets to the right side of the two front pieces and sew them along the sides and the bottom
So the pocket flaps right sides together along the bottom and side edges so that you have two pieces instead of four
Flip those inside out like you can see on the top one and then sew it down along the top and along all the sides
Cut a little slit along the bottom of the pocket flap so that it's big enough to fit the button and then use a skinny
Zig-Zag stitch
And just start at the top go all the way down the right turn it around [and] then go all [the] way back down
In those two pocket flaps to the front of the shirt and then sew them down along the bottom edge
Once that flap is sewn in [place], then you bring the flap downwards pin it in place
And then give it one more top stitch along that top edge so that it stays pressed downwards on your shirt
Ten and so those two front pieces to the back piece of the shirt right sides together
along the two shoulders and along the side
But stop about three inches from the bottom because that makes it look nice
Before we keep going [we'll] prevent anything from fraying in that front edge by going down it with a zig zag stitch
We'll also take those top edges and press them [down] with an iron about a centimeter in
On the collar piece that has an interfacing mark out two little triangles about seven inches away from each other and sew them down
[these] are [just] going to help things stay in place on your collar
Cut inwards until you reach those triangles and then iron that little edge down as well
Then lay those two collar pieces on top of each other [right] sides together
[sew] those two pieces together alongside the bottom and the other side
Flip it inside out push out really hard on those corners, and then sew all the way along the [top]
But make sure you don't sew shut that hole that we left between those two triangles
With the whole side facing up pin that collar to the top of the shirt right sides together and then we're going to sew it
together all along the top Edge again leaving that hole open
Now fold those two side [flops] [inwards] so that the edge of the flap is touching the center of that little triangle and pin those
down along the entire free Edge
So that done as well all the [way] across
Flip those color pieces and push on those corners to make sure that they are nice and charming
To finish the collar we're just going to hand [stitch] that opening shut
On the two sleeve pieces that are right sides together cut inwards about three inches to get the cuff going
for a little bit of structural support salt on the two sides of the cut
Take those little placket pieces and press it so that it looks like the one that's on the right with the right side folded inwards
A little bit pin the free edge of the placket to the slip that you just cut in the sleeve and sew them together
along the Top Edge right sides touching
Then bring that [blackett] piece all the way around to hide all the raw edges and sew that down with the top stitch as well
Take that placket piece fold it in half so that the sleeve looks like this
And then we're going [to] sew a little diagonal line into the top edge
Open up the placket and along the Edge that is touching the long side of the sleeve
Fold that one inwards and sew it [down] with a little stitch
Here's where you're at with your two sleeves
You've got two little pockets that fold outwards towards the big edge of the sleeping next we're going to add some darts [I]
chose to go with three darts
[so] I just drew a couple of dots and the goal is [to] line up the dots and sew a straight line
three times to [making] three darts in the
[end] you want to make sure that the sleeve that you're left with can fit around your wrist comfortably?
Here's how it looks with two darts done. I just have one more left to go
I sew a straight line from the top dot all the way down to the
Reeducate Edge to seal off the Tube
to make things easier to fit
I don't go all the way to the edge that way I can adjust the diameter of the sleeve depending on how it fits with
The shoulder to add the cuff simply pin the right side of the cuff fabric to the right side of the sleeves
Once those are sewn together along the free edge
Make sure you press that raw seems that it's pointing towards the Cotton field
Flip that cuff piece upwards and then pin that folded edge to the Edge that you just sew it together
try to line them up nice and flush or going to sew along [the] side for that front edge and also the
side of [the] [company]
Now you take the cuff piece and flip the entire thing inside out once more
Pushing on those corners to make sure that they're nice [and] sharp
Start pinning that entire raw Edge down to the sleeve and then we're going to stow that all together with a straight stitch on
the outside of the cuff
We're also going to do a top [stitch] along all of the [free] sides to make sure they're nice and crisp
For now pin those cuffs together instead of sewing on a button. Just because you want to get on with the fitting
In the right side of that sleeve to the right side of the shoulder and then try this on
It's likely [that] your sleeve might be a little bit long so slide back as much as you need so [that] it hits your wrist
Nicely and then cut off the excess [fabric] that you slid back
pin that sleeve back to the shirt so you can tell how much you need to seal off along the bottom Edge and
Then with the right sides touching you're going to seal off the entire armhole attaching that sleeve to the shirt
Finish the front fold those raw edges inwards about an inch and sew along the bottom
Then flip those inside out and push those corners really hard one more time to make sure they're really sharp
then fold that word inwards twice
and you can [handle] the entire bottom this way the last step is [just] like with those pocket flaps you're going to cut all of
The buttonholes that you need so sig zags along those buttonholes, and then attach a button to the other side of the fabric
