Tailoring Tricky PLASTIC Raincoat! 🌦️💧*Shortening Sleeves...

Hello friends! In today's video, I am showing how I shortened the sleeves on this plastic, TPU raincoat. This job is quite daunting as there isn't much room for error and the sleeves are tapered. However, the logic behind this job will hopefully apply to shortening the sleeves on other jackets... with actual fabric lol!

    @@DowntownTailoring absolutely right.....especially the part about tapering the sleeve to eliminate puckers.... I have been cutting alot of men's long sleeve shirts to short sleeves.... and have a tough time with the flat feld seam when tapering.

    if you don't have the teflon feet you can spray some silicone spray on the bottom of your presser foot and on the needle plate and the plastic will slip across really nice. works good with polyurethane laminate fabrics as well

    Thanks! You will need a sharp needle for sewing plastic. The size will depend upon the calibre of your plastic. I hope this helps! 🥰
