HOW TO SEW YOUR SHORT SLEEVE
1. Finish the bottom hem of the short sleeves with your desired method. Pre-iron the hem by folding once at 3/4″ or 2cm.
2. Follow the Archie Instructions 55 to 62. When you sew the sleeve and side seam make sure to unfold the pre-ironed hem.
3. Once the side seams are closed, refold the hem along the crease. With the shirt inside out, sew inside the sleeve hem at 5/8″, to close it from the right side.
I hope you enjoy sewing some Archie Shirts with short sleeves!
When you sew one up be sure to show me – I can’t wait to see!
You can find the pattern for the Archie Shirt in Issue 6 of One Thimble which is available to purchase HERE
