Welcome to Day 2 of our Calliope Sew-a-long! Today we’re going to knock out our shoulder seams, and attaching our sleeves.
Sleeves include a one-piece lantern sleeve, slim long sleeve, or a relaxed fit long sleeve. In today’s video, I’m sewing up the slim long sleeve. Don’t love cuffs? No problem at all – you can simple add length to the sleeve pieces, and hem instead. The beauty of sewing for yourself!
Don’t forget:
- seam allowance is 1/2″ and is included on pattern pieces
- be sure to take a consistent seam allowance throughout your garment
- if you added/subtracted length to the front bodice, be sure to do so for the back bodice as well!
Want to sew along with me? Check out today’s video!
