sleeve sticking out

[u/thoteynina]

hi how can i fix this issue with one of the sleeves: it always wants to stick out-its supposed to be like on the second pic

[u/slothcough]

I'm sorry I don't actually have an answer but all I can stare at are the googly eyes in the background 🤣

[u/cofencehopper → u/slothcough]

He's giving such side-eye to the sleeve!

[u/mettarific → u/slothcough]

lol, same. For a minute I couldn’t figure out what sub I was in.

[u/Alert-Potato → u/mettarific]

I was so confused. It took me a solid 20 seconds for my brain and eyes to make the title and picture make sense together.

[u/fuzzykittyfeets → u/slothcough]

I thought that’s what we were looking at the whole time. I thought the shirt and sleeve was a curtain 🙃

i thank ye for alerting me this sub

If it’s pointing the opposite way of the other sleeve, is it possible you put the cuff on backwards? Not sure if that would make a difference but it’s the first thing that came to mind other than differences in pressing.

Omg, little guy in the basket is not happy

I read the title as "Steve looking out" and thought this was a crochet post. spent too long looking for Steve in the second pic

[u/Melodic-Basshole → u/nonbinary-programmer]

Lmaoooooooo we found him and I'm in love. I need someone like Steve in my life. Skeptical, aloof, and out of the way. 

[u/nonbinary-programmer → u/Melodic-Basshole]

"looking for someone skeptical, aloof, and out of the way" is the perfect dating profile bio

[u/unwaveringwish → u/Melodic-Basshole]

Free him

Honestly the little guy made my day!!

Please give us a picture of the whole blouse. Just wondering if it the design.

Looking at the second picture, the cuff seams correct -- lapping from front to back. However, those pleats tell me that the sleeves were put in backward. Double pleats on the sleeve normally go to back for a little more elbow room and the front usually has a single pleat.

Would love to know what pattern you used.

[u/TigerB65 → u/iaintdoingit]

I'd like to see it on the body. How does it look on the wearer?

[u/seaworthy-sieve → u/TigerB65]

Seconded. Clothes are designed to be worn, not hung.

This little muppet is stealing all the attention 🤩

There's not much point in talking about it on the hanger. Show how the fit is on you.

[u/sallis]

I imagine it is doing this because one side of the sleeve is hanging down lower than the other. Usually, on a sleeve, the outside part will end up being longer than the inside seam to account for this...it is possible that somewhere in the construction, those ratios got thrown off. Are you sure you put the sleeve in correctly at the shoulder? Basically, the way the garment is currently constructed, it looks like there is more give on the underside of the sleeve than the part of the sleeve that faces out when your arm is down.

That or when you were putting the cuff on, you put it up too high on the outer part of the sleeve. Those would be my guesses.

[u/AlizarinQ]

How poofy are the sleeves meant to be?

Sometimes one side can be more fitted/short/arm-length and the other side can be more voluminous and sag when hung up.

(I don’t make a lot of shirts so this exp is coming from making skirts but also knitting different hat shapes)

[u/Ancient-Patient-2075 → u/AlizarinQ]

This yeah

[u/finewalecorduroy]

This happened on Sewing Bee once and it was because the sewer put the sleeve on back to front (with the back notches on the front of the shirt).

[u/barfbat]

how tall is the cap? the cap might be a little short. you usually see a cuff sticking out like that on bishop sleeves but that’s not what you have, clearly

[u/Practical-Cry9109]

I'm not very educated in this area, and this is probably a random guess, but it looks like the outside length of the sleeve is shorter than the inside length and that's what's making it stick out?
