In my previous post HERE, I ripped apart an old linen shirt to upcycle and transform it in a more fancy garment.
That is where I left it.
A piece of fabric covers the front opening.
I cut a strip on the selvage to keep the fringes hanging down.
I sew them on the bottom of the shoulder yoke to keep the origanl cut of the shirt.
The sleeves.
I put the original sleeves on the fabric with a space between for gathers.
I lifted the head (drawn in blue) 3 cm. It is what I removed from the body when I redrew the armhole.
Cut out the new sleeve to the length you want. Here, I have used the selvage for the bottom of the sleeve.
The sleeves.
Sew the sleeves
Even if it is baggy cut, there is a front and back in the crown curve.
Now we have more add ons of fabric where ever it you want it.
- At the bottom, cut a strip wider than the one sewn below the shoulder yoke.
- Maybe shorten the sleeves if the proportions are wrong.
- With fabric add ons, we have to careful not to put too much and try different things.
