Étapes de finition

Add buttonholes and buttons on the cuffs and on the collar stand.

1. The buttonhole on the collar stand should be starting in line with the front placket buttonholes, see image below.
2. On the cuff, the buttonhole should be placed on the overlapping part. It could be placed in the centers, but other alternatives are possible depending on style or if the edges are rounded. The placement of the buttonhole depends on the button, but usually about ½” (1,5cm) from the edge is best. See image below:

Making the Hem

3. Fold the hem ½” (1,5cm) twice and stitch close to the fold.

Your shirt is now finished! Now you can make your own shirts and change different details such as the collars, cuffs, pockets, and the overall appearance.
