I'm afraid I'm over my head with altering function buttoned sleeves.

I do like that pattern. I think this will be pair number four. I hope you enjoy the pattern as much as I have been.

Sometimes pulling up a couple of inches with the elastic adds a VERY nice design element :) You can also pay a professional to shorten your sleeves :) I charge $30-$40 to do that job, I live in Southeastern Ohio :) I am sure some charges are higher, some lower :) Good luck :) I am new to your blog :) It's lovely :) Best wishes from Cheryl :)Cheryl Designshttp://cheryldesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-59089920954911378852014-01-21T18:24:15.712-06:002014-01-21T18:24:15.712-06:00Me too!

A friend commented that I could alter an item I was complaining about. Pfft. I would rather sew something from scratch.SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.com
