How to sew: placket, mandarin collar. Presto Tunic (Love Notions). Collab. with Dorothy's Daughter

Today I am sharing a project in collaboration with Kim, from Dorothy’s Daughter, another great sewing channel. We both made the Presto Tunic from Love Notions in different fabric and views. I am showing lots of sewing footage of the button placket, center panel and mandarin collar.

Kim’s video on her channel: Head over there after watching my video and show her all the sewing love!
