Add a cuff to a sleeve: Paganoonoo Sewing Tip. With Michelle Paganini courtesy of It's Sew Easy

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Men's dress shirts make great upcycle candidates but the sleeves are generally too long for ladies. One simple upcycling solution is to turn the sleeve into a 3/4 length with a contrast cuff.

    I love to wear oversized mens shirts because I have extra long arms but find them not quite nice enough to wear outside the home, but by adding a cuff and other random ideas, thanks, never occurred to e to do this! And I am a hard core seamstress and quilter. Thank you.

    I found a great overcoat for my son at a thrift store. The previous owner had shortened the sleeves by tacking them up; I thought they just had short arms. Turns out they had ironed a hole into the sleeve cuff about two inches up on one arm. He needs that length so I can’t just re tack it back up. I would really like to be able to make it wearable for him and found some fabric that is close to the lining. The coat is all cotton duck type fabric except for the lining. This video is helping me wrap my mind around how to make this happen! Any other tips that you could give would be awesome! Have you ever done something like that?

    Am altering a long sleeve to 3/4 and found your video. Great idea! Was wondering if the finished cuff width on your shirt that you are wearing was 2 and 1/2 inches? Trying to get a feel for the right width for proportion. Thank you.

    Would it be better to cut the cuff on the bias for more movement when attaching to the sleeve

  • @michellepaganoonoopaganini4818

    @michellepaganoonoopaganini4818

    I probably would not. It is likely to stretch too much if cut on the bias.

    If you would like to upcycle some of these garments yourself go to www.etsy.com/shop/Paganoonoo. I have on the “Cindy", the green plaid is the "Sandy", the white and orange is the "Michelle", the purple is the "Patti", and the one I am working on is another "Cindy". These are deconstruction and reconstruction steps with illustrations, no need to print and pin.
