Putting Sleeves into a Sleeveless Dress


A friend of mine needed sleeves added to a dress she was wearing to wedding.  This was the right color, just no sleeves.  I hunted all the local fabric resources and found some fabric that was the same color at JoAnn Fabrics.  It was knit, so I was happy because that's what I work with mostly right now with my nursing shawl business.

   
First we determined how far down from the top of the armhole we needed to make the sleeve.
