Placket FREE Pattern and Tutorial

This is the placket pattern & tutorial.  A placket is a detail often used in tailored shirts and blouses. This is one of the skills that will raise your sewing to the next level.

You can use this placket pattern in just about any sleeve you wish to have buttons and cuffs. A placket is always found in a tailored shirt of man and woman, but it is a bit tricky to sew so I am sharing with you an easy and fail-proof way. While most sleeves patterns come with their placket pattern, you can use the pattern I am sharing with you in case you want to add a placket to a shirt you already have.

Materials needed:

• Fabric from the shirt or a contrasting one.
• An erasable pen, or tailor's chalk
• An iron
• A ruler
