Comment on DIY: How to Trim Slim Your Button Up Shirt by Eliza Starbuck

Hi Nina, great question. I did take the arms in just a touch at the armhole so that there would not be a tuck at the sleeve, so when I was stitching and I hit the armhole, I turned the bend into the sleeve, following the underarm seam, and I stitched tapering the shape until I could gradually meet the seam again. If the sleeve for your husband is entirely too big, then you can pin the under arm in the same way we did the side seam and just keep stitching from the side seam armhole all the way down to the cuff, or as far as you need to take in, just make sure that it gradually makes it back to the original seam near the cuff so you don’t have to try to take the cuffs in too. Hope that helps! E

Comment on What is sustainable about fashion? by Eliza Starbuck

Eliza Starbuck — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:37:04 +0000

RunJDHP, this is an excellent point. Home sewing is an excellent solution to sustainability and style. In making your own, you can engineer the fit to last, you can make it completely original, and you can build special features, like room to grow (for kids), quirky details, and re-use of items you already have. I think that it’s a shame that less people have the know how to sew with a machine. It’s actually about as difficult as driving a car, but like driving, you have to know at least some of the rules: tailoring, pattern making, and understanding clothing construction is absolutely necessary to making a garment. It would be awesome if home-economics was brought back into the schools and taught to everyone. With just the basics, we could all be wearing sustainable, home-made, one of a kind wardrobes.
