Is there a crowd to source?

I think I know the steps in the process, but I want to run it by folks who have done this more recently than ~20 years ago.

How to sew a shirt:

*Buy the pattern
*Buy the appropriate amount of fabric for the pattern if it does not already exist in stash (it does not, i purchased muslin so that i am expecting this to be a trial run before i make one to actually wear)
*Cut out the paper pattern
*Cut out the fabric based on the paper pattern
*Sew the fabric together (rip out seams while swearing fit to strip wallpaper, resew the fabric together, repeat until either Done or completed)
*Sew the buttons on the shirt
*Wash the finished item

I mean, it sounds right? And I am moderately confident in my ability to heck this right up, but I think I can do this.

Yup, that's about right.

There may be an interim step of "adjust pattern to the particular measurements of the person who will wear the shirt" (either by altering the pattern or altering the muslin) depending on your skills and desires, but those are pretty much the steps in the order.

Awesome! Thank you!

Yeah, I was strongly encouraged to think of this first draft as a first draft. It's expected to need improvement before the final draft. And I'm making it for myself, so I definitely can take measurements as often as I need them.
