  Thank you so much, it’s very helpful. Your sleeve heads really look great.

  Thanks a lot once again for this great how-to! I can make a garment that looks decent enough to wear, but I still have to learn a lot about details. Except for how to change a gathered sleeve into a classical one I also learned from you that:

  1. I should put TWO gathering stitches around the sleeve head (and not only one);

  2. I should back arms too (and not only fronts, at least for certain fabrics that seem to gain from it);

  3. The strip of lambswool – trick, I had no idea about it or it’s function.
