Making Bush Shirts 12

Sew up as far as the end of the slit. This can be marked with a pin. Sew past the pin to make a nice border on the "foot" of the placket.

Position the placket strip ready for the first stitch across the placket. This will make a very strong base to the placket foot. It this is not sewn properly, it may tear later on.

Continue sewing around the placket foot, making a nice "frame". You will have to sew over a line of stitches, but this is OK. The top of the placket foot has 2 lines of stitching.
