This is the second sleeve drafting project that I've done using one of Rhonda's "free sleeve Saturday" patterns.
What I like about this one is that it draws attention to your forearm without a lot of fabric. That is, not to say that I don't like flounces. It's just a different type of attention-getter. I decided to take the shirring higher up my arm. You can see that in the pattern below.
Black tops are scarce in my wardrobe. This new one will be great to wear with jeans, slacks, and skirts. For cooler days a nice 3/4 sleeve kimono jacket is the perfect topper to add warmth and still show off the cute sleeves.
Again, I won't repeat the tutorial for this sleeve. Get the instructions from Rhonda's blog here.
Thanks and Happy Sewing!

Love that sleeve! All the while that Rhonda was posting the different sleeves, I wanted to make t-shirts or simple dresses each with a different sleeve. Didn't happen. Luckily the information is still available, and may-be, just may-be you will be my example for putting some interesting sleeves in my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteVery good, Irene. Rhonda would be thrilled if you did. ;-)
