I would appreciate a lot if you could post your tutorial for 3/4 sleeves as I would like to make a winter version for a wedding....

For one side, I would probably add volume to the folds and gathers, but it looks as if the other side has a dart of some kind which might need some variation of the traditional method. I think this is just not a style for full busted people. Plus, the bra difficulties would get expensive.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637498432307668019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-20947211960336949792012-11-30T08:32:50.350-05:002012-11-30T08:32:50.350-05:00Aren't they just?

You need to know how to pull off a look, for example if you purposely tie up your shirt to show stomach, that looks kind of off, but Gertie puts a lot of thought into pulling off her looks correctly. I wish I could know how to make anything look good, lolMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721477241620391373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-37086968246757884502012-11-19T11:39:32.766-05:002012-11-19T11:39:32.766-05:00When should you put the extra work in for making a...When should you put the extra work in for making a muslin, and if real muslin is not available what is the best cheap fabric to use?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721477241620391373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68289374172542457412012-11-19T11:05:25.597-05:002012-11-19T11:05:25.597-05:00Loving the 3/4 sleeve on this dress!Loving the 3/4 sleeve on this dress!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181928494578487821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-24009647342679878862012-11-19T05:32:49.650-05:002012-11-19T05:32:49.650-05:00I really love the look of the 3/4 sleeve....really...I really love the look of the 3/4 sleeve....really pretty.

One quick question - could you have made the cap sleeves fit without the added seam by just folding that area out (kind of like a dart that goes all the way across and therefore folds itself out)? Thanks for the tips!Amyhttp://sewwell.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-79194858510691595992012-11-18T18:36:12.070-05:002012-11-18T18:36:12.070-05:00Thanks for this answer.

There is a sleeve quite smaller than the other, though. Check it out. Curously, it happens the same in your book cover's dress.
