- We love taking our patterns further and now we can use our fave dolman sleeve styles and add on a perfectly fitting long sleeve! we can now make these patterns for winter too!
You will see two examples, one with a short dolman style and another with a dropped shoulder style. We are making easy custom sleeves and it's so easy.
This will work for patterns designed for knits & wovens. The blue woven version in this example is a free pattern I am sewing right now and you will see the final result in a few days. Stay tuned!
The Saltwhistle dress & peplum (Love Notions) comes in sizes XS-5X, has a regular & full bust option and is $5 on Friday 8th of September 2023. This is my affiliate link: www.lovenotions.com/product/s...

Such a valuable tutorial! Thanks Karina
Thank you Karina. This is an invaluable tutorial, clear and step by step. I’ve been making my clothes for 70 years and there are still new techniques to improve my results. Plus your modelled finished garments and styling suggestions are super helpful. At 76 I have multiple fitting issues so have had to Learn to compensate for rounded shoulders, forward shoulders and neck, no waist and I’m also a petite plus. My pattern work takes at least as long as the sewing, but I enjoy the whole process and when I fall into a creative hiatus, I only need to watch a few of your videos to regain my confidence and inspiration. I was happy to join your Patreon because your intellectual property is
highly valued by me. You are the shiniest tool in my sewing toolbox and I couldn’t be more appreciative.🙏
Thank you for both sleave-tips and the georgeous scallops hems 🤩
Thank you! I now have the courage and the tools to add sleeves to a favourite pattern.
Great - thanks for showing, will use this for sure !😊
Have fun!
I’m hoping everyone like us who learn so much from her gives to patreon so she can keep it up. I don’t know about anyone else here but in my neck of the woods there is NO place to learn garment sewing. I choke when it comes to cutting out my expensive fabrics as I’ve run out of old sheets, “cheap” fabric that can mimic my final garment is non existent, and refashioning is something out of my league for now. With her help I’m finally going beyond the basic easy to fit loose styles I’ve sewn for years …and it’s a bear without anyone around to help pin etc. I really do count on her for everything. I watch other TH-camrs but for me it was just too hard to learn with 100 different ways and points of view and Karina really does it all! She saved me from the brink of insanity with her “make a back facing” for the camp collars (that was a forehead smacking moment) so easy and smart and even though a part of me kept thinking that there had to be an easier way I’d never have thought of it; and how to measure the flat pattern at from the neckline down to get the bust, waist, hips really close before the first cut (especially for princess seam bodices which are supposed to be so easy to fit….ha!…sorry, but not without knowing where the important place to start is). She’s worth every penny of my patreon pledge….it would be a great loss if she was no longer around. I guess I’m shilling for her (don’t know her at all), but can’t help thinking that if everyone gave even the smallest amount through patreon, we’d be building our own public library for sewing, the Karina Franklin branch. We know what it takes to make one thing and can’t imagine, even though I try, how much work goes into what she provides. Her name pops up all over the place in comment sections with start with “Karina on lifting pins and needles shows how to do ….fill in the blank…” which is great, but is she being compensated? I’m a huge proponent for female success stories, especially when it’s not funding things like everyone needs butt implants this year, promoting their own line of cosmetics, doing weird things to our bodies, many of which end up making girls feel not good enough while enriching already insanely wealthy people become more so. Karina is helping everyone gain skills , even when she loses money on the content. I appreciate her making these step-by-step money losers since it’s what a lot of us want/need. I’m sure there are many, many people with more skills than I and that people watch sewing blogs for as many reasons as there are viewers. I know I do anyway. I look at THIS channel as an invaluable resource, one where she puts our needs above her own. I mean really, who would even consider making 3 trench coats in a row (while living in a place where winter lows are in the 80’s or something like that) so we can find and make one ourselves if we wanted?? Insane!! I love Alexsis’ style on the show “My Life is Murder”. She’s all about beautiful, colorful, flowing trenches that trail behind her as she power walks around New Zealand solving the unsolvable. Pure lust in my heart for those baby’s. ❤❤
Thank you so much Elise for you kindness and encouraging words 🤗🤗
Excellent tutorial as always. Thank you for your work
❤❤❤
This was so helpful. I have avoided dolman sleeves patterns because most of them has short sleeves and I need elbow to longer sleeves. Opens up a whole new world of patterns!!
Thanks you so much. Solves a big problem for me. You are a treasure.❤❤
Your stand alone "how to" videos are so helpful! I will definitely use this to add sleeves to dolman/dropped shoulder style patterns. Thank you, Karina.
Thank you Karina, for your helpful sewing and pattern recommendations and tips. 💐
I have wondered about how that could work several times, and here you provided a tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this sleeve addition. You are the best, and explain the process so that we beginners can understand.❤
Thank you, very easy to understand the process. Love your styles, too!
Excellent video on how to add long sleeves to a dolman style. Makes the patterns all season. Thank you for showing us. Love seeing your makes again 🙂
Thank you for these instructions!
Great info as usual!
Thank you Karina for a great video. Very interesting to see how to add to a dolman style 👍👍. Your dress is gorgeous 🤩🤩
Great information. Thank you
Wonderful. Thank you. New subbie 😊
I always love your pattern drafting videos and this is another excellent one. Another one for my Lifting Pins and Needles playlist! 😊
Same here!
This is so cool. I definitely want to try this out. Thanks, Karina.
❤❤❤the saltwhistle. Your outfits are knockouts!
Thank you so much, Karina. I have several patterns where I'd like to add sleeves. Your directions are very clear and detailed.
Thank you❤ I am sewing Butterick 6318 (retro dress) that has dolman sleeves. I made some other adjustments but then realized my arm wouldn't fit! I have to make more room for my bicep plus I want the sleeve longer. ❤
Karina, could this work for the Lotus top by Love Notions…. Never thought I would like this pattern but I love it, so now I would like to make a long sleeve for autumn and winter
It sure would :) the same process 😀
Karina, you rock! What top pattern are you wearing? I would love this top with 3/4 length sleeves in linen. I can't find a tunic pattern I like!
Wonderful and very helpful. I will use this technique going forward. Can you give me the name and pattern company for the beige and white dotted dress at about 39 seconds in the video please. Thank you so much.
The dress is made using the Melody dolman top from love notions. I just made it longer :)
Thank you so much!
