one of my favorite shirt shrinks on the sleeves area after someone washed it for me... it is about half inch shorter than it used to me..
all shirts shrink.
Oh, sorry. You meant how do you lengthen a shirt from the sleevehead. There's usually about 3/4" or so folded under in the seam. I imagine you would just sew an extension onto the sleeve cap or just make the shoulder seam narrower. Not easy to do unless you make shirts, however.
yes, a piece of fabric is attached to the sleeve head
..... you said you had a "Trick" not a technique.... -_- was thinking you had this innovative way of stretching that none of us knew about....
The full dope on shrinking from a "fabric technologist," via the Washington Post.
Thanks for the intersting article. I always thought as a designer that you would shrink your cloth before sewing, not the opposite and stretch it out to save on fabric. Wonder which brands do that...
