We are going to make this sleeve easy peasy. There are other fun ways to make sleeves. We will start here, but don't worry we will make all sorts of sleeves. This is only the beginning. Oh, this makes me so happy. Make sure the seam of your shirt sleeve is up and the fold of the sleeve is along your cutting board even with any line.
Then cut a straight line as close to the triangle of this button up cuff as you can.
Walla.
Then move your ruler over five inches and angle it down to seven inches. The five inch mark will be along the seam. The seven inch mark will be along the fold. Just remember this.
The other sleeve is just the same way. Make sure the seam is on the top and your sleeves fold lines up with a straight line. Cut off as close to the triangle of this button up cuff as you can. Then move your ruler over five inches and angle it. The five inch mark will be along the seam. The seven inch mark will be along the fold. Wasn't it fun to work with a cutting board and blade instead of scissors and a pattern? Wow. And you just refashioned a sleeve without a pattern. Look at you. You will be better than me in no time and I will be looking at your blog for ideas.
