Having the ability to make those changes is just such a great thing and your top looks great. Kudos to you for having the patience for doing that alteration. I am not sure that I would have.

This is another method of increasing freedom for your arms to move as shown here. http://www.21wale.com/2013/12/flatten-your-sleeve-cap.html I tried this on a dress last year, but although it helped, it's still uncomfortably unwearable so I might try your way too.<br />If this doesn't work, perhaps I shall have to resort to one of these gadgets which is so bizzare I Had to share! http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9mSs2qDyxlXzhMAJRGA3YlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBydHRqMjgyBGNvbG8DaXIyBHBvcwM1BHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzcg--/RV=2/RE=1461337092/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fwww.marinecorpstimes.com%2fstory%2fmilitary%2f2016%2f04%2f08%2froll-your-sleeves-too-tight-marines-guy-has-solution%2f82801334%2f/RK=0/RS=IkHBs6bfYQtPi9_4u8WCSGexisA-Haziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095106677922460576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-18076933934310880292016-04-21T21:11:53.802+01:002016-04-21T21:11:53.802+01:00I love that you put the time into this blouse!

I have broad shoulders and thought that was the issue with the sleeves being tight and I didn't really think there would be a way to fix them easily without changing the shape. I'm going to have to try this!

I've been following a couple of people who have some great information on why:<br />Original post-- http://www.ikatbag.com/2014/03/subtelties-in-drafting-sleeves.html<br /><br />In use-- <br />https://allspiceabounds.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/sewcation-days-5-6-updated-muslin-and-thank-you/<br /><br />While I lack the sewing expertise of either of these ladies, their explanation and usage makes a LOT of sense to me :)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm 90% sure from their posts that the method you used didn't change the length of the sleeve head, just the shape. Since the length is the important part for inserting, your solution is *the* no-worry solution!!<br /><br />Congrats on the baby :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10452893082426128666noreply@blogger.com
