Sewing a Dolman + 5 Dolman Sewing Patterns from Love Notions

[@drkatel]

New sewist here. I’m about to make my first tee and I chose a dolman because not only are they easier, they are soooo comfy in the summer.

[@LoveNotions]

Welcome to the wonderful world of sewing! You are absolutely right... dolmans are perfect for beginners and suuuper comfy! ~K

@@LoveNotions I’m very happy with the dolman T I made! So many people said they couldn’t believe it was handmade which was a real confidence booster. 🥰

Thank you

Great roundup, thank you. Question: how is a Dolman top different from a top with “grown on” sleeves? Or are they the same thing?

[@LoveNotions]

Great question. It's the same thing. Dolman is the formal term for grown on sleeves. ~K

What pattern is used to make the t-shirt you are wearing in the video? It is really nice 😊

[@LoveNotions]

It's basically the La Bella Donna dolman, just with a neckband. :) ~J

How can a make a bicep adjustment to a dolman sleeve? They are tight on me.

[@LoveNotions]

Hi Verna. The easiest way to increase the circumference of a dolman sleeve is to grade to a bigger size. You can grade from around that underarm curve area to a larger size instead. Hope that helps! ~K

How do I resize a blouse with dolman sleeve? Cuz the blouse kind of a bit big for me

[@LoveNotions]

There are lots of factors to consider here - especially depending on your specific fitting situation as well as the pattern. I think your best bet (if you're asking about a LN pattern) would be to ask in our private fb group. Post your question, a picture and you will get tons of advice and feedback.

Hello I’m working with the Seamwork lex top and it fit full size so I’m cutting a 10 but the bicep is a 15 1/2 and I’m a 17. 1/2 will tracing the larger armsye work?

[@LoveNotions]

Hi Debbie, I think you will get much more helpful suggestions and assistance if you ask in a Seamwork specific group as we are not familiar with that pattern. ~K

What is the Feature Friday price? 12.50 is the price that I was given. Is that correct?

[@LoveNotions]

Perhaps you checked after FF ended. Feature Friday price is usually $5.00. ~K
