Hello Hiveians and needleworkers
My skill can only get better
I am making pretty progress at learning male fashion.
It is not just about sewing the styles but the ability to make neat stitches and finishing.
So I decided to learn bits of everything and take it little at a time.
I got some fabric pieces at the store and decided to sew a sleeve and its cuffing.
There was some progress though I made some silly mistakes.
My boss put me through the details while I cut and sew.
Here is one made by my boss here while I attempted making another here.
What went wrong with this was the facing for the slit which wasn't straightend up properly and pointed to another direction.
I was told that it was because I dragged the fabric while sewing instead of allowing it to flow with the direction and movements of the machine.
I started with cutting the sleeve and cuff using the round sleeve circumference
A collar stay was added to the cuff using steam iron
Next was the slit for the cuff
The final part was where I got to stitch all pieces together.
I made a slit at a 3inchs position at the sleeve base and here was how it looked like.
All pieces joined together and my cuff was ready.
Next cuff I make has to come pretty well.
There are various kind of cuff, one with button and others with holes and loop, depends on what we are designing per time.
