Matching pattern on sleeve plackets
I had to draw up this little diagram to help me remember how to align the placket when cutting out so that when the sleeve is constructed the pattern on the placket aligns with the pattern on the sleeve. For cutting: the trick for me to remember is to NOT align on the cut/slash line when laying out the pattern, but to align on the point.
Once cut, I refer to the David Page Coffin book, Shirt Making, for all the sewing/construction tips... and then aligning the placket slash line to the sleeve slash line. Of course, DPC also suggests that one need not worry about matching patterns on plackets!
