[@sandig4223]

I really enjoyed the tutorial as others did, but when I went to sew the sleeve it bunched up at the seam because of extra material. How do I fix it so it looks finished like your sample?

Thank you

[@itsjoannotjoann5070]

Ummmmm, why didn't you turn the shirt wrong-side out and pin to the desired length? You did it completely backward. And then when it's time to sew you wrestled with just a few stitches at a time, stop, reposition the sleeve, sew, reposition the sleeve and sew again. You had a free-arm on your machine that would have made *much* quicker work of that project.

[@sewway]

Do as you like, the main thing is that it is also neat and beautiful.
