SH002 - Blouse with gathered button placket PDF

The SH002 button placket was specially designed to simplify the process of sewing buttonholes. The buttonholes are completed before the garment is fully assembled, allowing you to practice this technique in a more approachable and less intimidating way.

How to Make It Your Own

Minimalist, romantic, or bold: the SH002 takes on a completely different look depending on the fabric you choose.

The gathered button placket offers endless creative possibilities on its own. Add contrasting bias tape on each side of the gathers to highlight this signature detail, or repeat the same bias tape at the armhole for a subtle design echo throughout the garment. You can also play with contrasting buttons, printed fabrics, or softer drapey fabrics to completely transform the personality of the design.
