Dear Sewing Friends, in this video tutorial we will be making a puffy princess sleeve blouse. I call it a princess sleeve since it reminds of the sleeve style in Disney movies, but it might as well be a short peasant sleeve. Call it as it suits you :) The best thing is that this blouse is REALLY easy to make, no shoulder seam, perfect for spring/summer and you can even make it into a dress. Grab some beautiful fabric and let's get started!

I just can't seem to get the hems (arms/neckline/waist) to come out right. It never seems to be even. Any hints?

@ThoughtfulCreativity 3 жыл бұрын

@@stormdancer0 iron it well before stitching, pin in place, use ruler to make sure they are even. If the problem is about. Doing a straight stitch line - use a chalk or heat erasable pen to mark where you should stitch.

I like this process a lot. Makes me want to try a no-shoulder-seam design with a yoke placed on the top fold, and the yoke seam joins the body at the underarm, with plain sleeves (I’m not an elastic sleeve person). Might take some geometry gymnastics to figure out how to get that sleeve to work, but I can try it and see. TY for all the sewing journeys 😊 P.S. I think it might be a tulip sleeve, always wanted to try those.

@ThoughtfulCreativity 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you, ma'am! I am sure you have beautiful arms! But if you'd like you can leave the sleeve un-gathered, it will just look like a sleeve on a basic short sleeve button up, just going to have a wider angle pointing away from the arm, as this is not a sewn in sleeve. I hope this helps a bit! :)

I made it! But man, it was only easy-sh! I am a beginner and I, perhaps unwisely, chose a gauze fabric. I thought that I should avoid 'slippery' fabrics, but gauze was a little too shreddy. But I LEARNED SO MUCH and for that I am truly grateful. I wound up having to cut off the original bias-tape neckline (due to the shredding--plus I have a second hand sewing machine that sometimes doesn't make tight stitches), but then just made an interfacing neck and stitched it a bazillion times. I used a button to close the little keyhole in front and, not having elastic, let the arm holes flap, for now. Might do another button detail on the sleeves or add elastic later. I am very pleased with the outcome and feel greater confidence in my stitchery! Thank you!

Great video, love the cute and easy shirts! But you can make it much easier to put the elastic through If you stick a safety pin through the end of the elastic and simply and easily push it through the open area and all around the sleeve bottom. I have several different sizes of safety pins handy.

Yep, I know, but I have misplaced my safety pin somewhere a few weeks ago.... That's why I am using a knitting needle :) it works, but you are right - not as well :)
