A demonstration of hands-on skill Watch over the shoulder of a shirtmaking expert and learn the sewing techniques that will help you create shirts and blouses that look like the best money can buy.

With a little practice, you'll soon be able to produce the hallmarks of fine shirts -- collars that roll beautifully, symmetrical cuffs and collar points, stripes that match from placket to sleeve, and carefully topstitched details. The fine sewing skills that you develop here will enhance many other garments and become a valued addition to your sewing repertoire.
