    Thank you! I successfully altered the sleeves of my new winter jacket after watching this video several times. Your instructions are very good, so the process ended up being easier than I thought.

      It's even easier to shorten the puffer jacket's bottom than to shorten its sleeves!) Just measure the needed length when the garment is on a person, unsew the lining at the bottom, cut off extra length of both lining and main material (don't forget about seam allowances!), unsew the lining somewhere at the side seams to be able to turn the coat inside out to finish the bottom seam (so it won't be seen), and then finish the unsewed side seam back, turning the seam allowances inside and stitching 1 mm off the edge or hand stitch it. Hope this'll help, good luck! 😊💖✨

    Hi your presentation was very clear. Thanks for posting. I am planning to re-style my light-weight puffer jacket. So am looking for some advice.
    What size sewing machine needle did you use? What kind of thread did you select? Ta

      Hi! I'm so glad my video was useful for you! 😊💖 I restyled my puffer jacked some time ago, so I'm sorry I can't remember the size of a machine needle that I used - but as always, it depends on the material. If your is light-weighted - maybe you'll be ok with a №80 needle, but of course it's better to check this on your fabric first. Speaking of the thread - I used 100% polyester Dor Tak - it is a popular brand in Russia and not so pricy as Guttermann, etc.

    From a geometric point of view, the sleeve should have the shape of a trapezoid in projection. So if you cut in the middle, you should end up with a step. But maybe this shouldn't be a problem for a down jacket because of the many folds. Am I wrong?

      Hi!) You're right) But it depends on a sleeve construction. Some sleeves have a gentle "slope" from its bottom edge to an armhole and some - a steep one. I've had the second variant that it easier to deal with. But if a step appears - yes, one should narrow the sleeve's side seam at its bottom. Or make a gather - that is impossible in a case with a puffer jacket as there'll be too much bulk. Thanks for your question!)

    Hi , would you please be more revealing and show us how this sleeve is made step by step and slowly so that i can understand how i can sew it myself

    • @AlenaTolubaeva

      Hi Karmen, I can't do that as I've bought this puffer jacket in a shop, not've made it by myself entirely. So, I show only how to shorten its sleeves.
