Happy to post about my little experiment with Rhonda's shirred wrist sleeve. I decided to hack it into a shirred forearm sleeve. It turned out beautifully.
This was so easy to design/hack. I made a shirred wrist sleeve for another McCall's m6964 knit top a few years ago. That post is here.
Rhonda give you step by step instructions on how to make the shirring. It's really up to you on how far you want to go with it.
I will use this sleeve again. It adds style to a regular ole plain sleeve. Below is how it looks just hanging.
Here are my tissue patterns for both sleeve designs: shirred wrist and shirred forearm. Try it; you'll like it.
