How to Hem a Lined Sleeve – Part 6
Carefully pull the cut edge of the sleeve through the opened underarm seam (part 4).
Carefully unpin the edge and invert the seams so that the right side of the garment faces the arm side of the lining and align the seams, repinning them.
How to Hem a Lined Sleeve – Part 5
At the cut edges of the sleeve hem, match the seam or the outside of the sleeve with the seam of the lining and pin together.
How to Hem a Lined Sleeve – Part 4
Turn the sleeve inside out. Open the underarm seam (or the seam nearest the underarm if there are two seams). A six inch opening should be long enough to pull the hem of the sleeve through.
How to Hem a Lined Sleeve – Part 3
Pull the lining out so that a few inches of the lining protrude from the cut edge of the outer sleeve.
Mark the lining 1 inch from the cut edge.
Cut the lining on this line, (the lining must be shorter than the outer sleeve or it will show).
This will allow the lining to fall 1/2 inch short of the hem when you have finished hemming the sleeve.
Follow Part 1-3 for the other sleeve.
How to Hem a Lined Sleeve – Part 2
Hold the jacket up by the shoulders and allow the lining to fall into its proper position.
Lay the jacket on the cutting table (or ironing board) and cut through all the layers (including the lining) on the cutting marks (see Part 1 from yesterday’s post).
How to Hem a Lined Sleeve – Part 1
The first step for any hem is to try on the garment and pin the hem at the proper place.
For a lined sleeve, mark the cutting line 1 1/4 inches below the desired hem length.
