Beautiful work! 💖💖💖💖💖 I have several shirts I'll be adding a cap sleeve to. Thanks again. This video is detailed. Keep up the excellent work! 💃💃💃💖💖💖💖💖🎉

Oh my goodness for the last two days I have been researching sleeves And you're the only one that wrotr the formula down I'm so thankful for you

[@elladapetrosyan9610]

Thank you so much! It looks so MUCH better with cap sleeves and the new length is just perfect! You can't imagine how handy this tutorial is for me, bcs I often find sleeveless dresses on sale that I don't buy (I don't wear sleeves garments where I live). Not any more!

[@TheSewingChannel]

I am so happy to help Ellada❤️

[@angellestone9160]

I get most everything at thrift stores which helps alleviate the deep breath before cutting. Thanks for the help. I don’t mind sleeveless but it makes some things look much better to have a cap sleeve. You look fabulous in your dress. ❤

Beautiful love how ur dress 👗 turn out and u look beautiful 😍. I don’t like dresses that don’t have sleeves because I go to church also and very conservative. Always look for a way to do a simple sleeve thank u now I will always refer to ur video. Thank u so much 😊 God bless

[@seyiolufemi5731]

Thanks. Very helpful

[@mrgarner4796]

Great idea... lovely dress and nice photos with your hubby. I was searching for a simple sleeve finish when I realized I was a little 'shy' on fabric. The armhole appears to be somewhat larger than I want for a sleeveless version so will attempt to modify and apply a cap sleeve. Wish me luck.

[@marthadeleon1347]

Thank you! Cap sleeves and pockets are what I look for in dresses. Now I can add my own!!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes! I add them all the time! After you do it a couple of times you will be a pro at it!✅👍

[@samuelbassey3893]

Thanks for the tutorial. It would be nice to have a tutorial on a bolero jacket. In case you don't want to turn the dress to a dress with sleeves. Love the dress😍😍

[@jesshothersall]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to watch. I've just bought a sleeveless jersey dress and it really needs some kind of sleeve. Your dress looks SO much better with cap sleeves, and hopefully, so will mine... :)

[@TheSewingChannel]

It will look great !🤓

[@loriscrochetcreations8566]

Oh, wow!It changes the dress. The dress looks elegant, now. I will be using this in the future. Thank you !

[@TheSewingChannel]

You’re welcome. And it’s not hard to do because you don’t have to “fit” it in under the arms. ✅🤓✂️

[@loriscrochetcreations8566]

@@TheSewingChannel I'm so glad you showed step by step because for some reason I kept wanting to sew the straight lined edge along the inside arm hole. I just couldn't figure it out until I saw you do it. Thank you so much.

[@susanjones5516]

Great job. Thank you for sharing. Dress looks so much better after your alterations. I am going to try this.

Easy to do, nice explanation, thankyou

You’re welcome!🤓✂️

[@pchan232]

Great idea

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you!✅💛

[@elizabethpatton8364]

Terrific 😍👍🏼! I too want to learn to do this. I have lots of church dresses 👗 that need sleeves. I live in Hot Texas and I get tired of pairing up my dresses with a denim jacket. I have a sewing machine but have only very basic understanding. Your formula looks great but it scared me a little. Will try with an old dress first.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Don’t let it intimidate you. Definitely practice first. Once you learn this method then you will be able to add the simple cap sleeves to any item...🤓✅✂️let me know if you have questions 😊

[@carlyk502]

I’m loving on your scissors! Is there a place where I can get me a pair? Or can you recommend to me something similar? They seem as though they can help keep your hands from getting tired w/cutting a lot of fabric all @ once.

[@TheSewingChannel]

[@perawadi848]

Yes it is fabulouse

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you💛

[@maggiema6654]

Thank you very much it was easy to follow. Will try it on my top. 🙏

[@anniehickson6307]

Hi! I'd like to add a cap sleeve to a girls dress. I'm a beginner so I'm wondering if I can use the same formula for a kids dress?

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes you can!

[@seasonz75]

Thanks a lot!!!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@mistyeyed1063]

Hi. I can relate to what you said as I also get nervous everytime I make the cutting, thinking if I've done the accurate measurements or not.

[@TheSewingChannel]

No matter how confident I get in sewing I am always afraid to make the first cut lol glad to see others are that way as well👍✅✂️🤓

[@marybarton7914]

did you sew the cap sleeve on the inside or outside? can you show close up picture please.

[@TheSewingChannel]

I tucked the cap sleeve underneath the shoulder part of the sleeve✅

[@chenski13]

Is it possible to go beyond the 1/3 measurement for the cap sleeve height if i want it a little longer?

[@TheSewingChannel]

I think so..... if you make it more then you may have problem lifting your arms. Try a mock up first✅

[@chenski13]

@@TheSewingChannel i had that problem!!😭 is there any way i can make it longer than the 1/3?

[@lisatinbliki5691]

Where did you buy the dress? Do you sew for other people as well?

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_I purchased the dress at a Dillards outlet✅ No I don't sew for people✅ Thanks for watching💛_*

[@snetterpie]

@narip, find another channel. We love Tracey and her teaching style which means there is one of you and 40,000 of us and you lose, you leave. Bye.

[@mollymaisie9203]

liked it better on you without the sleeves, sorry

[@TheSewingChannel]

Don’t be sorry ✅

[@nirupapriyanthi7927]

Please edit your video. It must be short and up to the point

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes you’re absolutely right. That was one of the first videos I ever made… I had no idea the ins and outs of KZbin at the time of filming. I will put that on my list as a remake.🤓 thanks for the feedback. I really do appreciate it.✅

[@jesshothersall]

@@TheSewingChannel I like this video just as it is, some of us need it slow and careful

Thank you for the kind feedback💛💜
