Especially appreciate the info about bias binding and how to handle bias binding when there is a button placket involved.

I am so glad I found this class taught by Sonya Philip. I've made Shirt No. 1 once, and am eager to cut and sew my second. This was a very do-able project for my novice sewist self. Love that I could go back and rewatch segments as needed. Thank you!
