Collars & Cuffs Masterclass

Intermediate

Master a stand collar and cuffs for a perfect shirt

A well-sewn collar is one of the most satisfying things you can make — and one of the most noticeable when it goes wrong.

Caz loves making shirts. In this five-hour masterclass she shares everything she knows — from the forgiving simplicity of a flat camp collar all the way up to the precision of a shirt collar with stand, plus cuffs and plackets to complete the picture. You'll learn the tricks, the techniques and the small details that make these elements sit perfectly every single time.

Pair it with the Pockets or Seams masterclass running the same weekend for a seriously skills-packed couple of days.

Sewing is my jam — I started at 9 and never stopped. Usefulbox began helping people use their “in the box” machines. I love seeing students feel proud. Sewing is my creative outlet, and I believe it supports mental health — it’s helped me through life’s highs and lows.
