Make a thread chain loop at the top of the centre back opening and secure a button to the opposite edge to create the fastening. Fold and press in 1cm around the base edge of the top, then another 3cm. Fold the facing back inside under the arms and hand-stitch in place to stop it from rolling out. Neaten the edges of the facings in one continuous line, right around the base of the front and back. Turn the facing back inside the top, tease out the seams and press flat. Stitch the base of the back facing as far as the notch and match each edge of the facing opening to the opening of the back of the top. Match the centre back edges together, pin and stitch as far as the notch for the back opening. Make sure that the armhole seams are open and matching when sewing this seam, and press open. Match the side seams together, pin and stitch from the base of the top up to the underarm, then into the open edges of the facings. Neaten the side seam edges and the centre back edges. Tease out the seam allowance around the armholes and neckline, then press flat. Turn the top to the right side by threading the back top parts through the shoulders. Clip around the curved seam allowance of both the armholes and neckline, and the point of the ‘V’ neck. Match the armholes of the top to the facing armholes, right sides together, then pin and stitch in place. Fold the ruffles in towards the front and back of the top. ![]() Match the neckline of the top to the facings, right sides together, then pin and stitch in place. ![]() Pull up to gather, then position the ruffles into the armholes, matching the ends to the positions marked on the armholes. Make two rows of gathering stitches across the centre of the ruffles, as indicated on the pattern. Turn the ruffles to the right side, tease out the seam edges and press flat. Match the outer edges of the sleeve ruffles together, then pin and sew with a 5mm seam allowance. Match, pin and sew the shoulder seams of the front facing to the back ones, right sides together, then press the seam allowances open. Match, pin and stitch the shoulder seams of the front top to the back pieces, right sides facing. It was extremely helpful in my understanding of how to sew this type of sleeve.Download and cut out the pattern. Geometry confusion aside, thank you very much for the tutorial. Description: Relaxed-fit blouse with round neck and adjustable tie. ![]() If 2-5/8″ was a circumference, that would be a barbie sized arm hole. This is the hard copy sewing pattern for Jalie 3888- ADLE Flutter Sleeve Top and Tunic. The new circumference of the armhole is 3/8″ smaller at all points than the old measured circumference of the pattern, giving us a circle with a circumference of roughly 16-1/2″. We measure this from the centerpoint of the previous circle (whose radius is equal to the desired length of the new sleeve) to find the center of the new circle, and draw the new circle from this point. If we use your example, 19″/6.28″=3″ – 3/8″=2 5/8″ġ9″ is your initial armhole measurement on the old pattern (circumference), 6.28″ is your 2π. We have C, which is the length of the armhole. Or if 7-1/4″ were added below the point as well, so that it would be more readily understood as 7-1/4″ above the center point and 7-1/4″ below the point. The description is correct, but I think the arrows in the image is a little confusing, as it implies that the diameter is 7-1/4″ when it’s actually 14-1/2″. Every point on the circle is 7-1/4″ out from the center point. The length of the sleeve is the radius because we want the sleeve to be that long all the way around.
