How To / How I :: A Flutter Sleeve Tutorial :: Slash & Spread Method :: Smoosh Around And Find Out!

Hey Peeps! Smooshing is definitely a technical term and a term I use often in the sewing room. Sleeves are a great way to change the look of a dress/bodice that you've made many times before and the flutter sleeve is an easy, and pretty, change to try.

Brilliant video - I’m adjusting a vintage pattern to fit me. It has a flutter sleeve, being a bit conservative I feared the sleeve may be too full and was looking for a video on how to reduce fullness. Having watched your video I now understand why the sleeve patten piece is the shape it is, and seeing you in your lovely flutter sleeve dress has convinced me to sample the sleeve as it is before taking out any fullness. Thank you

[@laurelnolen2056]

I’ve done this method before, but I was too restrained in how far apart I spread the slashed pieces, and the resulting sleeves are in an awkward middle ground. The tip to line up the edges along the same horizontal line is great!

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

Great tutorial! I love altering sleeves, it's the easiest way to get a different look on a TNT pattern.

[@catherinerw1]

I like the subtlety of using the stitching line as your cut to line (I've done it just going to the top of the pattern piece). Agree that a lot of patterns assume women have stick-thin arms, without shapely muscles!

[@SA61977]

Clear instructions, Sian - your makeup and hair look really pretty today!

[@marathorne6821]

I've always admired your flutter sleeves, so I'm really grateful that you've created this tutorial 🙏 I've tried other methods without achieving what I was aiming for, but hopefully now I'll get them spot on! 🤞😁

[@barbaran9003]

This method is great. Thanks for sharing ❤this is so much easier to follow 😊

[@Ginevra345]

I’ve always wanted to try this, thanks for the great demonstration ❤

[@brendajones3867]

Thank you for this. I was going to look up instructions for doing this soon, perfect timing!

[@HeatherAHodnett]

I love flutter sleeves and hope to modify patterns if need be! Thank you for this!

[@sueb1158]

Thanks so much I haven’t sewn in so long but my hubby bought a new sewing machine as a surprise for my birthday. I love this video I was trying to change a sleeve on a bought shirt to a flutter sleeve. Your video is so easy to follow and fun to watch just what I needed!! Thanks

[@koumorinohime8333]

This is so helpful and well explained ♥️ I love flutter sleeves 😊 BTW I‘m Daniela from the Zoom calls 😘 The swiss lady with the black cat ♥️

[@daxxydog5777]

That’s a lovely hack on that sleeve!

[@jjsmama401]

This is brilliant thanks!❤

[@gemmasremchevich6719]

Definitely will have to try this. Ty. 😊

[@sarahblaisdell8995]

Can you do a mini tutorial on putting the sleeves together- I'm having a hard time making the hem look smooth *especially* around the underarm seam.

[@bonnieantonini]

What sort of hem do you do on your flutter sleeve? Thanks - love your videos.

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

For this one I did a narrow rolled hem, I have also used a narrow bias binding in the past :)

[@bonnieantonini]

[@bonnieantonini]

It's beautiful. Thank you for your reply!

[@Malaperty]

I'm assuming that the reverse is also true? I have a large flutter sleeve that I'd like to try to make much less full. I'm assuming I can slash and overlap to make it a skinnier fit?

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Possibly. I don't see why it wouldn't work (unless there is loads of gathering added to the sleeve cap) definitely worth a try at least :)

[@Torontogal777]

I plan to try this. Thank you! Question: Do you somehow mark the front and back notches that were on the original pattern? Or, does it matter for the sleeve insertion?

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

At 6.28 I talk about putting the notches on your new pattern piece 😊

So how do we sew this pattern?

[@KittenishBehaviourSian]

Sew up the underarm seam, finish the hem and I would French seam the armhole because that's the finish I prefer :)
