Sewing the Sleeve of a Knit Top- Tutorial- A First in a Series
Two weeks ago my "IRL" (in real life) sewing group, the Sewing Fashionistas, kicked off another "Wardrobe Sew-To-Fit Along" with the knit top and t-shirt as the topic of this months focus. Alongside the IRL group, I participated in another Wardrobe building challenge/Sew-To-Fit Along with my online sewing group, the Pericrafters. I taught class for my group here in Houston, called "Fit Diagnosis: The Knit Top" as well as created a few videos to help demonstrate how I sew my tops. This video and blog post is the first of a series of post and tutorials you will be seeing over the next couple of weeks on how I fit and sew my knit tops and t-shirts.
In preparations for teaching the classes, I made a host of tutorials on knit tops and t-shirts, as well as all the possible pattern alterations necessary to make it easier to help the folks in my groups. The above photo is just a couple of the tops I have made. You will be seeing those in some of the upcoming videos or upcoming blog post. I have demonstrated how I make alterations for myself and my daughter using a good selection of patterns. I hope you enjoy.
For now, here is the video on how to sew-in the sleeve using the flat insertion method I use for sewing a sleeve with a high cap. Click on the picture above if you can not see the video here.
