Sleeves on an overcoat

I didn’t get a chance to photograph the blazer before shipping it, sorry. To make it up to some of you (well, at least to Kim who has been begging for this for a while) some thoughts on setting sleeves. Not a full tutorial, but just a few pointers, this time a woman’s overcoat. (Cheating, she says- those sleeves are easy!) This will appeal mostly to homesewers, so if that’s not you, check back soonRead More

Sleeve matching

So I managed to draft a sleeve that matches all the way down the back as well as the front (here it is, just basted in to the armhole) The under sleeve is pretty hollow and I’m not thrilled with the fit so I am going to keep trying other things so long as I have some cloth left. But at least I know it’s possible.
