MUST TRY 5 EASY fashion sleeve ideas! (step-by-step tutorial)

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Tell me - which one did you like best?

[@Musicwarmsmysoul]

I have to say that on me, the tylip sleeve is not a flattering thing, but I love the way that you taught it! I am always fond of a cap sleeve, too.

[@dhines3804]

I like the tulip sleeve!

[@lucillewong1161]

I like the butterfly sleeve🤗

[@dashiajames1882]

Definitely the 🦋 sleeve it really looked so easy..!! But cute, modern & stylish.

[@wendycaro3062]

I like the butterfly sleeve and the tulip💖💖❤❤👍👍👏👏👏

[@CatherineSews]

I love how you make everything so clear and easy. You take away all the intimidation out of pattern drafting!

[@mrgarner4796]

Where have I seen you before??? You showed me how to make the neckline of my purchased t-top smaller.

[@CatherineSews]

@@mrgarner4796Haha, yup! That would be me!

[@rhondadorr6924]

I loved the circle sleeve. Looks so easy, I think even I can do that. 😂

[@juanitaconover8836]

This is such an inspiring video; SO many options, and none of them are very complicated! Every style was very clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you very much, Alisa, for showing us that we don’t need to fear the sleeve!😉

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I am so glad you feel inspired! It is my favorite part of creating videos! 😊 sleeves are a great way how to change up the same pattern without the need to completely redraft it or to buy a new one, saves time and money :)

[@margaretwills4821]

Perfect timing! I recently purchased fabric for a flutter sleeve, and now I have instructions! Seamstress for 50 years; love your channel!

[@lisacapri4837]

As usual, so much value jam packed into one video! You consistently over deliver! 😊

[@dhines3804]

You always blow my mind with your knowledge of pattern making and adjustments! You’re inspiring!

[@starbucksthiholsters]

I really like that you mix and match bodice blocks and have the organized binders of the sleeves. Wow that makes everything seem so much simpler!!

[@anne-mitavisscher3916]

This is such a good tutorial! I love the flutter sleeve and wanted to also learn how to create a crossover/ tulip sleeve. Your cap sleeve is great too.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Thank you so much! I truly hope that this is useful, a different sleeve can add a different vibe to a garment!

[@rbrown6476]

Can I just take a moment to say how much work you have put into this tutorial. ❤ It’s all so clear and easy to follow, with many different styles to choose from. It makes me feel that I could do too, as you always say 😊 I’m also a seamstress of 50 years, but I learn something new from each of your videos. You have an unselfish way of transferring knowledge from you to us - it’s kindness in action! I say this because lots of videos about sewing are just waffle about personal problems and also constant repetition which gets tiring to watch, so your channel is refreshing and up to date, but with simple solutions and easy to follow instructions. Many thanks and blessings to you and your family. You’re a treasure ❤

[@jennythomas8949]

I love the circle sleeve

[@cherylolsen4420]

Your enthusiasm is catching ! I am trying to get my sew jo back, watching videos is helping lots . Thank you 😎🇦🇺👍

[@tracyfrost]

This is a great tutorial to help people understand how these sleeves are designed.

[@joyscranfield5527]

Great tips on sleeves! Appreciate all you're teaching us.

[@Musicwarmsmysoul]

She's very good.

[@LG-dj9qr]

You are such a talented dear person. Thank you for your channel.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

My pleasure 😊

[@laurigiese8885]

You are a inspiration. I can't wait to finish breakfast and go to the sewing room and experiment with sleeves. Thank you!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

You can do it and have fun! :)

[@patriciarodriguez3863]

I am new to sewing since September 2020 I picked it up again when my dear brother past away , it keeps me going.So I have made a couple of quilts, dresses curtains etc… I even made a beautiful princess costume for my 8 year old niece who is tall for her age lol . I love how you encourage us that if u can do it WE can do it and we can!! The pattern I used didn’t have the puffy big sleeves she wanted so I took an old shirt of mine cut the sleeves and did the slash and spread method until I was satisfied!!! It is fun learning and everything I have made isn’t beginner friendly either but I push myself to learn!!! Thank you so much for ur encouragement

[@lana7422]

Fantastic. I looooove your tutorials. You are a masterful teacher. Thank you for all the wonderful, thoughtful instruction.

[@gerriebell2128]

This is a wonderful video and I’m saving it! Your lesson how to draft a basic sleeve was very good, too. Now I can draft all these types of sleeves or modify a sleeve piece of a garment pattern I already have. Getting closer to my dream of being able to mix and match various sleeves with various garments. Thank you! 😊😊

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Exactly :) and there is a reference sheet on Google Drive for Members for this video and here's the Members Extra for it, too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYWWgKGAe7yHhKc

Love your videos - the content is great and your personality and genuine joy makes it a pleasure to watch. Keep on going!

[@imsewblessed1578]

Your the best Alisa. My favourite is the flutter sleeve. It’s so pretty. Hope the weathers good there in Tennessee. It’s feeling like spring here and I’m loving it.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I love flutter sleeve too :) so easy and fun! It has been raining here for this past week, but daffodils are blooming! So great to hear that the weather is great on your side :)

[@sabboum3113]

Hi Alicia I want just to tell you thank you very much for your help I learned a lot with you and I improve my English in the same time , so please carry on with us , you are the best 🤗🤗

I find your videos extremely helpful.

[@sharonsukbirsingh9713]

This was such a fun and easy to understand video. Lots of great tips and instructions. You make it simple I love that the most about your Chanel ❤.

[@Escape10mom]

I too love a bishop sleeve as well as a flutter sleeve. Thanks for showing us how!!

[@Hannahhink]

You and your channel are AMAZING Thank you so much 🤩🥰 I'm learning soooo much from you

[@claudinehaupt2744]

I just love the cross over tulip sleeve

[@julialongmore8748]

Excellent tutorial, thank you. I will try a couple of these.

[@InAgatasCottage]

Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. I have sooo many ideas in my head now.

[@marathorne6821]

Excellent video, thank you so much! 🙏 I love playing around with sleeve patterns, it's a great way to change up a basic blouse or dress pattern to give it some extra interest.

[@Biancawaker]

I'm watching your videos like breathing. You are soooo natural!!! I just love the way you explain and make all so easy. I'm still afraid of measures though, but i'll try by using one of my blouses as pattern. 😁 thanks for your channel!! 😍

[@liserodrigue1980]

You came in just right on time for my summer tops....I love, love, love it....I love them all, I love the Petal, Circle and the cap since I live in Florida. Thank you so very much....

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

For Florida weather, Lise, you're so right - you need something that will be cute and humidity ready!

[@dashiajames1882]

Luvvvv this video I literally never knew how to make any of these sleeves. Especially the Bishop Sleeve..!! Seem like It'd be difficult to make. Such a great person & great channel. Thanks alot..!! 🙂🙂

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Love the flutter and long sleeve as i have thick upper arms

[@iraking2550]

Love all of the different style of sleeves

[@emilierose9402]

Great video! I love your enthusiasm and simple easy to follow instructions. I've never tried a tulip sleeve so I like the idea of a muslin to see how it would look on me before using some nice fabric for it🌸

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Muslin helps a lot, especially when we are just not sure how we want it or like. besides, for a little sleeve we don't need much muslin at all :)

[@charliek8332]

I so needed this video. God bless you for creating this tutorial!

[@MariSews]

Love how you showed how to make all the sleeves and explained what you’d do differently in some cases. This is so good!

[@sarahvandekendelaere8761]

I bought the same tape lol. It doesn't stick at all on the Cricut paper, but it does well on regular paper. I'll use my leftover for my patterns! Thanks for the advice!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

it is so funny that we think the same! yeah... it is not great for cardmaking, it unsticks too easily, but for this tissue paper or regular printer paper - it is ok :)

[@sarahvandekendelaere8761]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity when I saw you with that tape in the video my first thought was "omg, we could probably switch houses and not miss a single thing." Haha!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

That is SO TRUE! I laughed so hard when I read your comment, it put a smile on my face. he he, isn't it funny that such coincidence even exists in the world?

[@sarahvandekendelaere8761]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity we're all connected, and we found each other! 😍

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Thank you for putting so much work into all your tutorials!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Rita, my pleasure! I just truly hope it helps and gives inspiration to people!

[@marionlacey1986]

For me personally I love the puff sleeve, and the tulip. Thank you Alisa 🐾🥰

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I looooooove the puff sleeve :)

[@marsfran55]

This is great! I want them all!

[@Ami5Jo]

Thanx so much for this video. I've been intimidated by pattern drafting but you make it so inspirational and fun that I'm gonna venture on as well😊

[@Zeevah-x5g]

Love your channel - and I always learn something new. Thank you!

[@LostMyThread]

Thank you so much for this incredibly informative video. You make it look so easy! I love playing around with slashing and spreading and changing design details. It's a great way to get the most from your patterns!

[@marymoore3585]

Thanks!! I wondered about the tulip sleeves, but will likely make 1/2 sleeves for practicality

[@mrgarner4796]

Alisa, thank you for directing me back to this tutorial. It is exactly what I need to do to accomplish the sleeve I am looking for. 🤗🤗 I think I will try the circle sleeve and I perhaps will measure the length of the sleeve I am looking for and incorporate that into my circle. Not sure if it will work but I may do a test sleeve with a muslin first. I will keep you informed...

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@terahstearns474]

Love your videos. I joined to get all your amazing instructions. Can’t wait to try these sleeves!

you are truly amazing. Thank you so much for your pattern drafting videos. So helpful. You are a blessing. Thank you

[@bellyjohn3758]

I love this idea

[@daxxydog5777]

I just need to suck it up, buttercup, and finally draft a sleeve and bodice sloper for wovens. I made a knit block from a sleeveless tunic top that I loved by tracing it, but I’m sick of fighting stretchy fabric for a while. I bought some georgette and a 1970s pattern for a dress that I can’t wait to start on! And yes, I’ll trace the pattern from the original so I don’t ruin it.

[@dianadivadiamond]

Thanks again Alisha for this wonderful tutorial. I've done them before but lost all my patterns for them. 💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@broganmckoko]

Love it! Sleeves are fun and maddening to work with. Especially if you get your right and lefts mixed up. The petal/puff sleeve combo is one I want to try. Tip: if you have droopy shoulders, a little puff gives the illusion of broadness.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Oh, great tip! Thank you so much! He he, I had that a few times, don't remember now if I did not transfer the notches or if it was something else, but yes - sleeves are fun :)

[@lucillewong1161]

Yeeeeaaahhh!!!i have looked for this butterfly sleeve!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💃🏻

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there! You can make it on your own without a problem, just follow any of my tutorials for a top and cut away one shoulder and then adjust the length to be crop length, and that's it.

[@cturner9356]

Thanks for making this video! Could you please also show how to create a sleeve for an existing sleeveless top? Thanks in advance!

Doris, hi! You can slow down the video in the KZbin video player.

[@SamanthaLlanos]

Ah I love the circle sleeve! I think I'm going to draft one for my baby shower dress. Would I need to consider anything differently if I made one in knit fabric? Thank you!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Samantha, hello there - for knit fabrics - just the drape and how you are going to hem it. Hemming a circular piece of fabric can be difficult. so I would cut a tiny little circle and try it first, or maybe you want to leave edges raw, or maybe you want to line it (sew 2 circles together at the outer edge, turn rights sides out, align at the inner circle and attach both layers to the armhole.

[@kishaphillips3129]

I miss watching your videos, started a new job. But I wanted to ask you if you can do a tutorial on simple nursing dress please please. I want to make one for my sister in law

[@auzzygirl8175]

Great lesson thank you. I have VERY large upper arms and wonder if you could show how to enlarge a fitted sleeve to fit? Thank you. 😊

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

You will most likely need to deepen the armhole and therefore adjust the width of the sleeve to fit your upper arms. I have a video on how to construct a basic sleeve - go there and you will be able to make a sleeve you need.

[@auzzygirl8175]

@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thank you. I'll take a look. Yes deepening the armhole was also what I was struggling with.

[@maijose1174]

Love this tutorial! I just dont understand why sleeves twist in my projects

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

You probably either cut them 1)off grain or 2) your bodice block needs to be adjusted and so do the sleeves

[@michellepark778]

length of hose is good budget alternative to a flexi-curve

[@eleanorwittering3126]

Look up Butterick B6757, how does one sew that style "cap sleeves?" (This type of sleeve would go really well w/a shirred bodice type summer dress!)
