We finally tackled the cuffs with those fun pleats, the sleeves which were no piece of cake to set in… and of course the curved hem.
A few things to note on Butterick B6924
Remember the side seams on the shirt are 1” whilst everywhere else is 5/8”. So if the shirt feels a little loose it’s perhaps that you used the wrong seam allowance.
Take your time easing in the set in sleeves. It took me two tries (YES, two tries) but they did go in. I suggest you do gathering stitches from notch to notch vs. what is shown in the pattern from dot to dot in the cap sleeves.
Do add in both pockets as the darts are way too long so the pockets “hide” the length of the darts. If you do not add the pockets then make sure you adjust the length of the darts.
Other than that, its a great pattern if you want to add a few more skills to your sewing.
