With its lightweight of 106.66 g\/m2, this fabric is perfect for making shirts, blouses, and other summer clothing. The navy blue shade gives a classic elegance to your creations, while offering a neutral canvas that easily pairs with other colors. Choose this cotton poplin for comfortable and stylish pieces, perfect for sunny days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Color: Navy blue<br>Width: 150cm<br>Composition: 100% Cotton<br>Weight: 160g\/ml &#8211; 106.66g\/m2<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing 106g\/m\u00b2, I was a bit afraid: afraid of not being able to handle such a fine fabric. But actually, the fabric isn&#8217;t that thin, it has a certain rigidity, and it&#8217;s quite easy to sew. The main difficulty is rather washing these 3 meters of fabric and ironing them (!!!). I don&#8217;t know how many threads per cm it has, but this fabric is of superior quality, it doesn&#8217;t fray easily, and the color doesn&#8217;t fade when washed. The color is magnificent and eye-catching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since sewing takes time, I try to achieve the same finishes and details as luxury brands. I say &#8220;I try,&#8221; I&#8217;m not saying I&#8217;ve succeeded \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luxury shirts are made with very tight stitches; I set my machine to 2.0, which gives approximately 8 stitches\/cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the collar, I opted for a very thin interfacing found at <strong>Lafayette Saltiel Drapiers<\/strong>.<br>And for the buttons, I chose navy-tinted mother-of-pearl buttons also from Lafayette Saltiel Drapiers. Mother-of-pearl buttons bring luminosity to the shirt and the feel is very luxurious. They don&#8217;t cost that much, so I highly recommend them as they are buttons used by luxury brands for their shirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first time I&#8217;ve made buttonholes with my small sewing machine and the result isn&#8217;t too bad. In the excitement, I forgot to sew the last buttonhole (near the hips) horizontally like luxury brands do (this allows for some ease). At least for the collar, I placed it properly parallel to the seam line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first sewed the buttons by hand in a lily pattern on a shank, but it&#8217;s not very regular. Then, I learned to sew them with the zigzag stitch on the machine (widths 3.5 and 4.5) and I use the remaining thread to make a large knot at the base of the button. I think it looks pretty good. This &#8220;lily&#8221; pattern is also highly appreciated by luxury brands because for a long time, they had to be done by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-84x112.jpg 84w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-593x790.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4040-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-84x112.jpg 84w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-200x267.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-593x790.jpg 593w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_4041-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the collar, there are no major difficulties because I&#8217;m cheating: I opt for short sleeves (there&#8217;s a better chance JB will wear it this summer than if it had long sleeves), eliminating the need for cuffs and plackets, which saves me a day of sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s when adding all the buttons that I realize my shirt plackets don&#8217;t overlap properly. And at the collar level, the height of the collar isn&#8217;t the same on both sides. And I created wrinkles when sewing the collar. I can correct only one problem by repositioning the buttons in the right places, but the collar remains a bit asymmetrical this time; I need to motivate myself to redo the collar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problems don&#8217;t end there. Following the measurements indicated on the tutorial pattern, I opted for a size that was a bit too large. While the shoulders fit JB, neither the sleeves nor the width suited him. After the initial disappointment, I was able to readjust the shirt and it fits him better now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still have plenty of things to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>redo the collar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>add the gussets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>move the bottom button a few millimeters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>learn to copy one of JB&#8217;s favorite shirts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>learn pattern making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3551\" style=\"width:575px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-84x63.jpg 84w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mehach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_3995-1053x790.jpg 1053w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fabric \u20ac23.4 for 3 meters (I used 2 meters for JB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interfacing: about \u20ac2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buttons: \u20ac9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thread: \u20ac4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TOTAL: \u20ac38.4<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 days of work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tutorial &#038; pattern: \u20ac44 from Artesane<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I resumed sewing seriously in February 2025 and I&#8217;m documenting my progress month by month.
