If you have been visiting here lately you may have noticed I have been quiet. In truth, I have been very busy! I have moved and have been renovating the new place! Check out the renovation videos over on my youtube channel or at my new website . Please check out my website Sews2Reap . All of my videos can be accessed from there along with any support materials and my merch shop!  

Short Sleeve Pattern Making

I make four short-sleeve styles this week and show all the basics. If you are wanting to alter and create a sleeve, this video has all the vital details to get you started!  Sleeves styles shown are bell, a lantern with cuff, leg of mutton style puff with a facing, and traditional puff. Looking for the supplies video? 🠟 I have a few more patternmaking videos on my channel too in their own playlist!  🠝 click here 🠝

I love this pattern for a t-shirt with a little something extra. It fits great and is simple to make. A good one for sewists of any level! Change it up by using coordinating fabrics or a stripe that gets matched at the front seam.  👆  Check out my TeeSpring shop! 👆 I have mugs too
