Setting Sleeves?
This is the second Petite Blythe coat I made (pattern from DCR#4). Every time I set the sleeves for dolly clothes (any size), I always sew them in with hand stitching. For me, the most difficult type of sleeve to set in are the NON-puffy sleeves. Puffy sleeves seem to be a little more forgiving because of the gathers. I have tried using a sewing machine to set these tiny dolly sleeves in, but it never looks right.....and out comes the stitch-ripper.
Q: Does anybody out there use a sewing machine to set in non-puffy sleeves? Do you have any advice on how to do this? Thanks in advance!
