Sewing Sleeves on a Jacket

Hi Shirley,,

There should be instructions with your pattern that you used to cut the jacket. You need to follow the step by step instructions in the package.

To get some idea on how to do this you can watch:  Sweater Remodeling (Pullover Alteration) Sewing Video Lessons

In the future we will cover this topic in a detailed video lesson.

Yours,

Nehzat.

Fall sewing projects

Last year  I promised myself I'd make a couple/few fleece jackets to wear during cold weather, but it didn't happen.  I have completed two so far this fall!  I will post them soon.

sewing costumes for choir

 a Denim vest should be pretty easy or as complex as you desire.Denim is fun for top stitching maybe use contrasting color?

I have made several winter jackets out of fleece.I have to say it is very easy to work with,Hemming is a breeze and you can take duck bill or some say Applique scissors and trim the excess hem you fold over or serge the hem? anyway I had fun sewing those jackets I added a waist casing with draw string and hood with jersery binding around the edge and pockets, zipper down the front on the outside.I keep loosing them?I dont know how so now I have to make another one I love the dark grey fleece it seems to go with most colors and Fleecet works great in the rain too.

Right now Im working on 2 renaissance Gowns for some choir girls one of the girls wants to make it with my help it should be fun Ill post pictures of those we have 2 weeks to finish! good lordy I have to start!I have to copy one of the dress from a book called spiderwick book #4  so im drawing out the pieces tomorrow I all ready started today on the sleeve parts it should be fun!

Here is a picture of a Gown I sewed a couple years ago when I first started sewing a replica of jane seymour queen of england. and the spiderwick one im currently working on
