I have been having shoulder/armhole issues in almost everything I make and just recently came to the realization that I need to make a forward shoulder adjustment. But I was wanting to make the change to a knit garment, and knew just easing it in per FFRP wasn't going to look good. I think this will solve my problem!Nicole Morganhttp://www.pudgeandnico.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170578327853219575.post-73402596386276643532014-06-17T01:19:58.276-04:002014-06-17T01:19:58.276-04:00Thank you.

No one?! This little tutorial is really terrific. Why hasn't anyone who has printed a book and calls themselves a fancy sewing professional not provided this info... it never occurred to them that after altering a sleeve opening you automatically have to alter the sleeve that you set in it? You rule. This is such an easy fix I'll be doing on a coat this week.

I did a FFRP course in the UK and I wasn't shown how to alter the sleeve but I have come to realise that leaving as is sn't good. I have read many books and I have scoured the internet and opinions vary at best. I am definitely going to try this on my next make.lisa penricenoreply@blogger.com
