For this sew-along tutorial, I used a medium weight quilting cotton that has the feel that is closer to poplin or broadcloth. There are 3 colourways in this stags print – red, green and ivory. My husband selected the red. The 100% cotton makes it perfect for structured sewing like that involved in making collars and button plackets.

McCalls M6044 Sewalong

My sewing style is very relaxed and easy-going. My sewing philosophy is that “sewn is better than perfect“. There arent any mistakes that cant be recovered from and even when I make any mistakes I show how I fix them. There is no perfectly tidy sewing room or neat workflows – I just share it how I exactly sew up my projects.
