Maybe it's an optical illusion because they are so long? Anyway, I just checked and a full bicep adjustment is covered in the Blackwood sewalong over at the Helen's Closet website. Looks like a rather simple adjustment!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144010556887549717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-60531170693747872252018-04-17T15:05:17.835+02:002018-04-17T15:05:17.835+02:00I like that they look so different!

I've seen the pattern before and wondered about it, but the arms look really skinny on it and am worried about having to do a lot of adjustment. purpleivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432472804539371422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173179849477212303.post-19188915591108197532018-04-16T12:33:53.166+02:002018-04-16T12:33:53.166+02:00I love both versions.

I think the patterned version looks dressier - whether that's the pattern or the length, I'm not sure.<br />As I'm tall, I didn't shorten the sleeves but actually could by a little. I usually have to lengthen sleeves by quite a bit. I haven't made a longer one yet but it's on the cards. No pockets! Plain or patterned?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.com
