Hello dear,

I want to ask if dealing with women jackets and men jackets are the same steps or not.

I'm  tring to shorten sleeve from the shoulder , what is the essential steps to do that. should I cut  the same amount of access  fabric around the sleeve ? Do I need to tight the arm hole a bit , when I do that.

Thank you very much.

Re: Dealing with Women and Men Jackets

Dear noussa,

There are differences in the patterns between men's and women's jackets. But the essential sewing steps are the same.

Men's jackets have a different way of applying the interfacing, since they are more structured.

You can watch the Jacket and Coat Alteration: Shoulder Shortening and Shoulder Pad and the Jacket & Coat Alteration: Plain Sleeve Shortening  to get a better idea on jacket sleeve alteration.

When opening the seams to do the alteration, pay attention to the way that the jacket is constructed so that you can replicate it. Taking pictures will help a lot. 

Happy sewing, 

Nehzat
