I hate tight elastics in my waist. I suggest you make the elastic fit your waist without stretching it

For the slee"e hems you an do the same thing$


8/9

Fold under the hem, 'ig'ag it to the inside li+e the other hems, gather the slee"es to the width ofyour wrist but dont forget to add a bit of ease for the button$$$4$ =ow sew a band o"er the hemstithing line and the gatherings$ ou an sew in a little loop for a pearl button li+e mine

I did not do a very nice jo, I was so giddy to get done... The faric is forgiving, though...

ou are done!

The slee"es are hanging at a weird angle beause we used the 23 @ angle atually 1(3@4, whihma+es the underside of the slee"e longer than the upper side$ For this +ind of blouse, this is

intentional, beause it gi"es that nie loose, flowy shape to the slee"es$ # li+e it that way$ #f youdont, you an e.periment with different angles$ #t does not ha"e to be the same angle at thebodie and the slee"e, but the raglan seams ha"e to be the same length, so the piees math$$$

;et me +now if any of this is too "ague for you, please$ 6y &nglish sewing terms are still not reallywhere they need to be to write proper tutorials, but try me - # an learn! -4
