Burda Style For people who sew

I am a huge fan of cap sleeves, and utilized the added cap sleeve in the dress I made my mom. I am making another dress similar to it and decided the time has come for me to post a quick tutorial on drafting and attaching cap sleeves. Here we go! Copy and paste this address into your formula bar to go to the tutorial. http://strawberrypancakesbykim.tumblr.com/post/984542964/tutorial-how-to-add-a-cap-sleeve-to-any-sewing

Technique Materials

  I checked your blog and the pix are still gone or gone again. Could you post them on this site?

  I am making the coffee date dress but i changed the facing to a full lining and i was planning on adding a lace sleeve. Now i realized im stuck! Is there any way to put in a sleev with a full bodice lining???

  Thank you! I can not wait to use this! Was wanting to try for a “baby” tee (but, really junior size) -what a tremendous hint…! Think will work for layering toward fall, too.

  Fantastic, I’m starting a sleeveless dress this weekend and wanted to add on some sleeves. By the way, I hope your coffee date dress came out well, I tried to make this but could not resize it from the pettie size to mine hope it’s come out a treat for you.

  Thanks

  Kelly
