Turning the Cuff of a Men's Shirt

Video Transcript

" Hello! I’m Stephany from Stephany’s Simply Sewing on behalf of expertvillage.com. I’m going to show you how to turn your cuff for your men’s shirt. First of all, I’ve already sewn these together, and now I’m going to take this interfacing and trim it just as we have in the past. The next thing I’m going to do is this corner where it is folded, I’m going to snip a portion off like that. The reason being is when we turn our cuff, if we cut that portion off then we’re not going to have a lot of bulk in the corner. So let me prepare the other end of our cuff. Trim, snip. Turning our cuff is very similar to how we turned our collar. We simply turn it right side out. So let me get in here and there we go, we have a cuff. What I will do next is take it to my ironing board, because remember your iron is your friend. I can’t say that enough. Ironing is what separates a handmade item from a homemade item. When I press, I’m going to be sure that my seams are square, I’m going to pin it down and then I will be doing some topstitching. That is how you turn your cuff for a men’s shirt. "
