shortening sleeve

first you ahve to check if the sleeve has the false plaquet with the buttons,if that is so...well it can only besortened to behind this opening. If the sleeve needs just a small adjustment,it will not be able to happen,due to the opening leaving a hole when it is unpicked.

You can go into the sleeve in the seam of the underarm lining....this gets you inside and the all needs to be undone and re-sewn. Always remember to replace the edge vilene that holds the hem in place to give the sharp fold . good luck!
