Not sure if it was because the fleece did not have much stretch but it was a dismal failure.
Before I cut the fabric I measured the pattern to make sure I was choosing the right size because they were marked as being 1, 2, 3, etc. And, yes, I deducted the seam allowances from the pattern to make sure it fitted.
Everything was going fine until I sewed the sleeves and side seams.
I don't have muscly arms, just normal sized ones but these sleeves are a fail.
It starts with the armhole being too small and, of course, it makes the sleeves too narrow. Too narrow to be even comfortable. At first I thought I would just use it as an around-the-house item but it's way too uncomfortable even for that.
Now it has been consigned to the bin.
Onward and upwards, as they say.
I originally wrote this post back in May, 2018 and didn't do anything more about it. My apologies. Now it is summer in Australia and my craft work has been concentrated on cards.
Here is a card I made to welcome twin girls.
The stamps came from Stampin' Up. Gorgeous aren't they.
See you next time.
