Very clever. <br /><br />Do you think you might need to add little "wings" at the hem of your sleeve for the lace to turn up? I don't know how wide you'll make your hem or if your lace is at all stretchy, but from the angle of the photo, it looks like you might need to add those.<br /><br />You amaze me!Remnanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200800968597517755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-29711536530548350912010-11-01T09:08:39.244-04:002010-11-01T09:08:39.244-04:00I enjoyed looking at the photos of your sleeve pat...I enjoyed looking at the photos of your sleeve pattern alteration because the bicep area is where I have a little extra but like you I don't want fabric swimming at the wrist. I have never seen an instruction drawing show your straight sharp line until past the bicep fullness and then the taper down, but I am going to keep that image in my head next fitted sleeve pattern I make.
