Sleeves explained: Less guesswork, better fit #103

Johanna and Malena dig into a new arm of garment sewing, namely the sleeves. They talk through the different types, from set-in to raglan and why they behave so differently once you actually sew them. They also get into the fit and why sleeve issues are often misdiagnosed. Is it really the sleeve… or is the armhole the real culprit? Plus, why adding more ease to the cap isn’t always a great idea. Especially when sewing sleeves on knit garments. If sleeves have ever felt unnecessarily complicated, this episode will make things a lot clearer. 📙 Fit for Knits Book https://www.thelaststitch.com/fit-for-knits-book Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠stitchingtalespod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Or contact us at our socials: Stitching Tales on Instagram Stitching Tales on YouTube About Malena Hjerpe: Professional pattern maker, sewing book author and owner of Hazelhen Patterns.

Johanna and Malena dig into a new arm of garment sewing, namely the sleeves. They talk through the different types, from set-in to raglan and why they behave so differently once you actually sew them.

They also get into the fit and why sleeve issues are often misdiagnosed. Is it really the sleeve… or is the armhole the real culprit? Plus, why adding more ease to the cap isn’t always a great idea. Especially when sewing sleeves on knit garments.

If sleeves have ever felt unnecessarily complicated, this episode will make things a lot clearer.
