I am a big fan of high, close armscyes (maybe I just have scrawny arms ;) ).<br /><br />So glad my fitting comment helped a wee bit! :DTanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-757062528880968472012-03-15T21:12:53.640-04:002012-03-15T21:12:53.640-04:00Your sleeve & armscye alterations look really ...Your sleeve & armscye alterations look really good - and a lot more comfortable!Tia Diahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622901192302670927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-11847026112512532582012-03-15T17:24:16.181-04:002012-03-15T17:24:16.181-04:00Yep, sleeves are tricky as!

So much better! I often narrow sleaves myself, but I have always been afraid to take ease out of sleeve caps, although, now I am thinking it might be a very good idea!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-53091567769803058012012-03-15T16:31:16.354-04:002012-03-15T16:31:16.354-04:00this jacket is going to be BANANAS. i can't b...this jacket is going to be BANANAS. i can't believe all these adjustments... you're making me give the stink eye to my <i>ohwhateverit'sFINE</i> garments....<br /><br />(three times? that's awesome.)marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-25548708219081944222012-03-15T16:10:15.072-04:002012-03-15T16:10:15.072-04:00I think your improved sleeve looks much better - i...I think your improved sleeve looks much better - it has a nice smooth look to it. I have also noticed that a smaller higher armscye works much better for me than the huge ones with lots of ease. Your muslins are looking really good, all of your efforts with fitting are totally going to be worth it in the end.T. Sedaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684101466551796470noreply@blogger.com
