Preparation Pre-Wash all your fabrics. Be sure to use the same method you intend to clean your garment with when finished. This will prevent the possibility of your garment shrinking after its first wash. Read through all the instructions. Sometimes surprises are good, but when sewing they usually aren’t. Gather your supplies. Make sure you have all the fabric, thread, interfacing and notions required for your garment, as well as any tools you may need such as a sewing machine, scissors, pins, and rulers. Print pattern according to the instructions included in the Printing Instructions file. Find your size. Select your size based on the size chart and cut out all pattern pieces. Since all sizes are nested you can easily blend between sizes as needed. If you are between sizes we recommend choosing the larger size. If you do make any changes to the pattern, be sure to make them to all your pattern pieces.

Cutting Lay out the pattern pieces on your fabric according to the following cutting layout diagrams. Fabric should be folded selvage to selvage with right side facing out. Using a marking pen or pencil, trace each piece making sure to transfer all pattern markings to your fabric as well. Mark the center front and back of each piece placed on the fold with a notch. This will help you align things later on. When cutting, cut away the lines you traced on the fabric and don’t forget to clip your notches! Fabric & Pattern Key

With right sides together, pin the other collar stand to the upper collar and collar stand. The collar will be sandwiched between the two collar stands. Sew along the curved edge through all layers. Grade seam allowance down to ⅛" along the curved edges and grade normally along the straight. Turn right side out and press.
Step 21 With the right side of the shirt facing up, align the interfaced collar stand to the neck edge. Match the ends of the collar with the edges of the shirt, and align the notches. Sew from end to end. Clip the seam allowance to, but not through, the stitching line approximately every ½".
Step 22 To finish the ends of the collar stand, start by laying your shirt out with the right side facing up. Fold the free collar stand down, revealing the other collar stand and seam allowance. Next, bring the free collar stand around the button band, to the inside of the garment, and align the raw neckline edges of both collar stands. Move the collar and button band out of the way to ensure a flat seam and pin in place. Starting at the center front seam line, stitch along the neckline seam of the collar stands for approximately 1 – 1 1/2". Trim corners, turn right side out, and press.

Step 24 To insert the sleeve plackets, begin by reinforcing the stitching line of the placket opening. Start stitching ¼" from the cut line at the cuff edge, narrowing to within a thread width of the cut line at the pivot point, then continue back out to ¼" at the other edge. Cut to, but not through, the pivot point.

Step 23 Fold the seam allowance of the unsewn portion of the collar stand under and slipstitch in place. Then edgestitch around all edges of the collar stand.
Step 25 Spread the placket opening and, with right sides together, align the reinforced stitching line with the ¼" seam allowance of the placket, and sew the two together from end to end, making sure to catch the sleeve at the center of the seam.
16
Archer Button Up 14 – 32
Step 26 Press the placket and seam allowance away from the sleeve, then lay the sleeve out with the wrong side facing up. Fold the ¼" seam allowance of the placket to the wrong side and press. Fold the placket again to meet the seam line and press, then stitch in place.
Step 27 With the right sides of the sleeve together, fold the placket in half aligning edges and ends. Stitch diagonally across the top of the placket starting at the seam line from the previous step, down over to the folded edge.
Step 28 Fold the front edge of the placket to the wrong side of the sleeve and press. The back edge of the placket will remain flat. With the sleeve facing right side out, fold the two knife pleats at the cuff edge following the directional arrows indicated on the pattern piece. Baste along the lower edge of the sleeve to secure the pleats and folded placket in place.
17
Archer Button Up 14 – 32
Step 29 Place two lines of basting stitches along the sleeve cap at ⅜" and ⅝" from the cut edge, between the front and back armhole notches. Leave thread tails at each end.
Step 30 Align the edges and notches of the sleeve and armhole with right sides together. To ease the sleeve cap ino the armhole, gather excess fabric between the notches by pulling on the thread tails. Sew, remove basting threads, and finish seams. Lightly press seam allowance towards sleeve. Repeat for the other sleeve.
Step 31 Align the side seams and underarms with right sides together matching edges, underarm seams, and notches. Sew from the hem edge, through the underarm, to the sleeve hem edge. Finish your seam allowances and press towards the back of the shirt.
18
Step 32 Press your cuffs in half along the fold line with wrong sides together. Open the cuffs back up and fold the seam allowance of the unnotched edge to the wrong side and press.

Step 34 With right sides together, fold the cuff in half. Sew the ends of the cuff together and trim the corners.
Step 35 Turn the cuff right side out and press. Slipstitch the unsewn portion of the cuff in place. If you would like to topstitch or edgesitch your cuff do that now.
19
Step 36 Hem your shirt by pressing the hem edge up ¼", then ¼" again, and then stitching down the free folded edge.
Step 37 Insert vertical buttonholes for the ½" buttons on the right side of the button placket using the markings on your pattern as your guide. Use the buttonholes you just made to mark the button placement on the left button placket and attach buttons.
Archer Button Up 14 – 32
Insert a horizontal buttonhole for your ⅜" button on the right side of the collar stand — the front end of the buttonhole should align with the buttonholes on your button placket. Use the buttonhole you just made to mark the button placement on the left collar stand and attach the button. On each cuff, insert horizontal buttonholes for the remaining two ½" buttons using the placement markings on the pattern as your guide. Then attach the buttons, this time using the button placement markings on the pattern as your guide.

Glossary Baste means to sew with a longer stitch length than you would normally use in order to temporarily hold two or more pieces of fabric together. You can baste either by hand or machine. Clip is a snip of the fabric to, but not through, the stitching line of an inward curve. This allows the seam allowance to spread over the length of the seam line and lay flat when pressed. Easing is the act of making a longer piece of fabric fit a smaller piece. When easing, the seam should be smooth with no tucks or gathers.
Archer Button Up 14 – 32
Edgestitch refers to a line of stitching approximately ⅛" away from a folded edge or seam line of a garment. Finish Seam refers to treating a seam after it is sewn so that it doesn’t unravel or fray. Examples of finishing a seam include trimming with pinking shears, serging, or using a method that encloses the seam itself such as a bound, French, or flatfelled seam. Grade Seam or “grading” is done to reduce bulk in the seams. To grade your seam, trim away half of the seam allowance that will fall closest to the garment when pressed. Grain Line refers to the lengthwise grain of the fabric, which runs parallel to the selvage edge of the fabric. Align the grain line printed on each pattern parallel to the selvage to ensure proper fit and drape of your finished garment. Main refers to the main fabric of your garment.
22
Notch can be one of two things. First, notch can refer to a mark on the pattern used to correctly line up pattern pieces. These can either be clipped into the seam allowance (be sure not to notch more than halfway into your seam allowance), or a small triangle can be cut extending out from the seam allowance. Second, a notch can be a small triangle cut into the seam allowance. Used on outward curves, a notch eliminates excess fabric, allowing your seam to lay flat. When notching a seam allowance, be sure to cut to, but not through, the stitching line. Right Side & Wrong Side The right side of your fabric will face the outside of the garment and the wrong side of your fabric will face to the inside when your garment is completed. Selvage is the woven finished edge of the fabric, which runs the length of the fabric. It is created when the fabric is woven on a loom and runs parallel to the lengthwise grain. Slipstitch is a hand sewing technique that invisibly closes a seam. For a tutorial on how to slipstitch, visit our website: www.grainlinestudio.com/blogs/ how-to-hand-sew-a-slip-stitch Topstitch refers to a type of stitch, usually a straight stitch, done along a seam line or garment edge that is meant to give a crisp edge and highlight details.
