Lol I have one of them which I picked up back the 80’s could not find when we hit the 90’s so bought another one which had some different sleeves , moved house a dozen times in the 00’s everting is now packed in storage because I had to move back home to help Dad look after Mom(not easy to merge two homes into one) yep had to finally had to buy yet a 3rd copy of mixed sleeves which it had more sleeves than the last two have and a few more styles 😹😹😹only this year, have no idea which of my boxes hold what and they are mixed in with Mom’s as she too never got to unpack totally from moving house before she got sick. Now it’s only Dad and myself and we just build a workshop to house all the boxes, we really need to get in there and go through them all🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Remember, seams can always turn into style lines 👋 Or, if have 1 seam is bad, more is better. 1 seam equals a mistake, many seams equals style choice opportunities 😂

That's the perfect way to look at it! I'd love to try some visible seam/style lines clothing soon - just go nuts with the top stitching... XD

Fun fact: "magyar" means Hungarian, so they would be Hungarian sleeves. Dolman (or dolmány in Hungarian) was a very widely worn garment in Hungarian history for centuries, from nobility to later the peasantry and even in military uniforms. Love from Magyarország (Hungary)!

I actually love dolman sleeves with non stretch fabric! The key is to have a much wider shirt than usual so you can still move

I always understood that the difference between Dolman and batwing is that a batwing starts close to the waist with much more flappydowaddle wing and Dolemans are closer fitting to the arm pit.

Close...a Dolman sleeve is often confused with a cap or bat sleeve. Dolman refers to the structure of the sleeve, and in this video, I saw no Dolmans being constructed.

@@CootiePootieTootie Well, if you look up the subject on Google, you'll find about a thousand ads and other references to the name "Dolman sleeve". Very few are, though. A Dolman sleeve is a constructed, joint-fitting sleeve, that has a shoulder section, not merely an extension of the main sloper body. In common usage now, Dolman usually means batwing, or self-sleeve. I found only one ad for a blouse that has a true Dolman sleeve... Nordstrom, Dolman Sleeve Silk Top in color cinnamon stick. Many home sewers make the error of calling a self-sleeve a bat wing, and a bat wing a Dolman, etc. Things change.

This was a really fun video to watch. I don’t sew very much with knits - except to make tiny teddy bears for my primary grades students. I have been sewing since I was a very young child - age 7, and that gives me 58 years of experience. Here is the best hack, or trick, for you to sew a garment with set-in sleeves. Stitch the shoulder seam together. Then add the sleeves to the bodice. Then stitch the arm sleeve. I usually do it in 2 stages, so the actual underarm get a reinforcement. Pin the sides together, matching the seams on the sleeve to bodice together. Start about 3-4 “ from the joint of the sleeve and bodice. Stitch up the sleeve, and then all the way down to the hem line. Turn the garment. Begin again about 3-4” from the joint seams, and stitch up the bodice side, then all the way down to the sleeve hem. It is MUCH easier to sew that way, than to sew the sleeve closed and side closed, and then set the sleeve into the garment I make about 70-75% of all my clothes. You are doing really well. Sewing is a lost art for many people, so I am really happy to see a young person choose to do their own clothes. Keep it up.

Navy striped with solid navy sides is a total winner! It flatters the figure and has great style lines. It's the best one, in my estimation!

Hurrah for everything, but that 10/10 striped dress is amazing! 🤩 Very cute. And your photo backdrop is fantastic!

Setting in sleeves is a bit tricky, but if you make "puffy sleeves" with deliberate gathers at the shoulder, it's way easier. Just my take on the sleeve debate 😊

I know it sounds crazy but i usually use my flat iron i use On my hair for seams also i have seam rollers originally intended for leather i keep in my portable sewing kits… keep in mind, i use the lowest setting on the flat iron and I don’t have to worry about residue transferring to the fabric bc i have seriously sensitive skin and dont use hardly any hair products for that reason lol

I don’t like sleeves either but a very easy way to do it is leave the side seam open. Find the middle of the sleeve cap it matches your shoulder seam match your notches(very important) to have the correct notches so you know front from back. Ease the material around the circle. Sew then sew up the side seams and your done!!!! I also hem the sleeve before I sew up the side seams Everything is much easier when your sewing on a flat service instead of a circle. Good luck. You can google or watch you-tube videos to see how this is done but it’s so much easier. Key is matching notches!!!!!

I taught myself to sew many many years ago & this is exactly the way of doing sleeves that I came up with. However, I took a sewing class later & was told by the scandalized teacher that it’s lazy and wrong. I didn’t take it personally, did it her way for the course & then continued to do it my way at home 😅

I was actually taught to sew in sleeves this way by a theater costume maker, and also told it was wrong by a paid sewist. Too bad, it's so much easier, I guess I'll just be sewing wrong. 😂

Omg dress 9 is so cute! Pockets could honestly be installed without much difficulty. You could add some black patch pockets on top of the black side panels. If you made them rectangles, you'd just have to hem the top edge and fold under the side and bottom edges. It'd be super quick and easy to install! Striped pockets there could also be really cute! Or maybe a kangaroo pocket on the front? If you did black, you wouldn't have to worry about matching the stripes, and you'd only have to hem the two sloped openings, folding under the top, bottom, and lower sides.

I had a shirt once similar to that pink with the gathered front... bloody LOVED that shirt and haven't been able to find something like it since so thank you for showing me how.

Dolman sleeve, batwing sleeve, all-in-one sleeve and bodice, "en-chemise" sleeve - and there are probably more terms that I DON'T know off the top of my head! Magyar is a new one, though! My favourite is the blue dress with the blue and white stripes - I'm a sucker for that combo. The idea of the black dress is really cool! Just - such an odd fabric.

For the panel dress you can always add some type of patch pocket. They are cute and work. Plus they will be super easy to add. As for the last dress (hospital gown) you can add a small spaghetti strap to help keep it up. It is also light enough you can buy a blue dye to help the color fell less hospital like. Both very easy fixes to bring this to a higher rating.

AWESOME !!! Your dressmaking is coming along in strides your sister might put you to work ;) I think my favourite looking dress was the panel one maybe you could put outside square pockets on it ? Overall the whole collection was amazing ;) Thanks for sharing ;D

Fellow winging it fabric hoarder here. Jersey fiend too. I don’t get the knit hate. It really isn't hard to sew with. Top tip...triple stretch straight stitch...the one that looks like three equal vertical lines on an old machine. When I discovered it....OMG. I know it's lovely, buying lots of pretty and slinky soft swoosh (a.k.a gorgeous yards of potential) but you have to spend some money on tools. I used to be all "why bother" too but these small simple tools are very cheap and you end up wondering how you did without them. It really saves you time and stops your brain melting in the search for that'll-dos. A bodkin for threading elastic/cord, not a safety pin. A.k.a elastic threading tool. Wonder clips, (or the Chinese ebay knockoffs which are dirt cheap and actually better), not pins. They take a little getting used to because they weigh the edge down a bit and can catch on your base plate edge if you forget to take them off at the right moment but my word is it worth it to do away with pin holes and associated ladders in your jersey knit. I freaking hate pins. A white eyeliner pencil to mark up dark fabric that you're going to wash, it's way easier than anything chalk on tricky stretchy or slippery fabrics.

i'm just starting sewing my own clothes and this is such a useful and encouraging example of how you can just figure out new things as you go. cheers!

I love watching you explore new machines. I am so lucky to be a part of a fiber artist group full of wonderful ladies who knit, crochet, sew, and spin. One of our ladies brings her spinning wheel to meetings, and is happy to teach us how to use it. It's a thing I will learn, eventually.

30:35 put a pouch style pocket like on hoodies but Hidden underneath with the openings where the striped fabric meets the solid fabric… this way you only have to unpick a very small amount Of seamwork plus less work overall to add pocketing

Im curious to see more of this sleeve exploration

I love your channel more and more. We just may be like-minded twinkies. Thank you for your content. Possibly on the blue stripe/blue maybe just do patch pocket on the blue sides. On number 10 dress, I wonder if you added a "seam" down the center of the back. Starting narrow at the waistline and increasing to 2"-3" at the neckline. I do love the idea of this dress.

I never thought of Dolman sleeves as batwing. I've made a dress or two with Dolman sleeves, but they were not as draping as what I think of as batwing...learn something everyday😊

Grown on sleeves are so much for comfortable as well as easier to sew. I use woven non stretch fabric and if you use enough fabric then they are fine.

I think you could save the last dress with a "strap" across the back shoulder to keep it higher and more practicle

I believe it was Madonnas’ fishnet top over tank that is what they are referencing in the article. Then there was a off the shoulder top movement with the sleeve.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, or if you have found this out already - I recently saw some hints which included spray starch to stop knits rolling at the edge.

They are also called "all in one sleeve". Looks like fun.

That last dress? I looooove it its so sophisticated but casual elegance

You can wear that blue shirt with the orange shirt you did in your capsule wardrobe

I loved the panel dress it's definitely my style. Any chance that you could do a tutorial style video of this dress with pockets of course 😂 Also, I have just recently found your channel and love all your videos. Thanks ❤

I turned 18 in 1984 and I do remember having clothes with that wings but I don’t remember Madonna wearing dolman sleeves/bat wings. I remember the pointy bra and a leather jacket and yeah Madonna was iconic. I do not remember batwing sleeves being iconic because of her but I had a lot of other things to keep me busy back then. Also, I am built for comfort not style and that hasn’t changed since I was about five.

Charlie, you’re so close to accidentally making your favorite pattern with the navy striped dress 😂

It is called a set in sleeve. If you can sew in cuffs you can put in a regular shirt sleeve. Everything you made is cute.

Watch for directional stretch. You want the biggest stretch to go around your body. That is my guess for what happened with the black fabric.

Ok the sexy hospital gown looks like it came right out of a soap opera! You may have missed the mark you were going for, but you hit telenovela hospital gown right on it.

Adding pockets to the Stripe/Solid panel dress would be super easy, just cut out 2 (pick whatever shape you want, I am going with square for sake of argument) and then choose your placement, your fabric, hem before putting it on then just top stitch it.
