Take your garment sewing to the next level by mastering one of the most polished sleeve details; the sleeve placket. In this technique-focused workshop, we’ll guide you step-by-step through constructing a professional-looking sleeve placket, the kind typically found on button-up shirts and blouses.

While the sleeve placket is the star of the show, we’ll also explore a variety of sleeve finishing techniques to expand your sewing toolkit, including:
- Shirring with elastic thread for a soft, gathered effect
- Binding finishes for lightweight, unlined sleeves
- Narrow hems for a clean, minimal edge on delicate fabrics

You’ll work on samples of each technique and leave with a reference set you can use for future projects. Whether you're making a crisp tailored shirt or adding special details to a dress, this class will give you the confidence to elevate your sleeve finishes with skill and style.

Designed for confident beginners and intermediate sewists who are ready to refine their garment construction techniques.
