    To turn your sweater in a circle is actually a very good idea. I hadn`t thought about that. And it`s also good that you explained it very well. Good job and thx.

    I bought a hoodie from the Georgia Aquarium and was so excited got home and tried it on the sleeves are hecka long! They don’t have a return policy so I’m hoping that I can do this without messing it up. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼but your video gives me the confidence that it’s pretty simple so thank you!
    I also have never sewn before..... so hopefully I use the correct piece you were mentioning lol

  • @kimc7376

    I love your method to shorten sleeves! But I'm confused about how to measure the amount I need to take off while leaving the original cuff on. I want the sleeves to fall at approximately a rolled cuff width, rolled twice. So let's say the cuff width is 1.5" .. please advise.

    • @SewAnastasia
      @SewAnastasia  2 роки тому +1

      Fold up the sweater and pin it and then try it on. If you think it looks right then you can sew and cut. You could always put a basting stitch in first too. If you want to take it the sweater 3 inches then the fold is 1.5 when you sew it. Thank you for watching Sew Anastasia and happy sewing.

    The sleeves of my sweaters and shirts are always too short. What can i do? Would you make a tutorial how to "extend" sleeves?
