Making Bush Shirts 8

Once the button strip is in place, the placket strip is lined up so that it covers the button strip exactly. A small slit is cut in line with the slit on the front panel of the shirt.

Cut out a segment of the inner folds on the placket strip to reduce the amount of fabric that has to be sewn when the placket is fitted.

Slide the front placket into place over the button strip. It is folded up at the base and ironed flat.
