vincentbriggs:This was supposed to be a quick machine sewn project (it’s a cotton print shirt for me to wear to work), but I can’t abide modern shirt patterns so it’s cut like an 18th century one, and of course the front slit is so much nicer when finished by hand.And I did the collar by hand too because I didn’t feel like machine sewing at the time. And then the underarm gussets are so small and they really do go in more smoothly with wee little backstitches, and it’d be a shame to fell the edges of the gussets by machine after that. And I’ll do the cuffs and buttons & buttonholes by hand too, but the long seams and the stuff at the shoulder is by machine, so it’ll still be a quick-ish project with at least 50% machine sewing… -- source link
