Sini TuuliaMeanwhile in #1890sCheckJacket - I've speculatively gazed at the one sleeve I machine sewed on (my trusty old Husqvarna apparently chewing through all that wool without issue) and determined that it might sit better if I made it narrower along the bicep and elbow bit in a very specific way, so I guess now I'm taking the sleeve off, making that adjustment and putting it back on again! Ah heck. 😅
Whatever my mum paid for that machine some 40 years ago was worth every markka, it's fully just a generic model for home sewing, and it just works and works and works.
So. I took the sleeve off, partially unpicked it, took out a scoop of fabric off the front seam of the upper sleeve, turned the cuffs a bit more, and did the same to the other sleeve. And then put one sleeve back on. Better. It's hours later and my hands hurt, but it's better. 😂 (Fitting gif!)
Staring at the clip and thinking I need to turn the hem cuff at an angle. It seems to be a thing with my shirts as well sometimes, and one day I'll figure out why that is. Not today, for sure. But it should probably be easy enough to just mess with the cuff until it looks right, completely disregarding any pattern drafting rules. If it looks okay, it looks okay and so on.
