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.
