Stay Dry in a Sewing Class!

Do you struggle with set-in sleeves? I did once too - but not anymore. Learn how to analyze your sleeve to see if you are starting with a well-drafted pattern to begin with and how to correct one that is not. Techniques that make construction easier are next, followed by fitting. Final bonus - learn how to decide if you can substitute one sleeve pattern for another.
