Here's a quick video showing how to construct the short sleeve view from the Iris pleated tee.
You will find fully-illustrated instructions in the PDF pattern download of course, but sometimes a video really is the best! Plus, I think you'll agree it is pretty satisfying to watch. Seeing a flat pattern piece turn into a 3D object is one of the most exciting parts of sewing!
I hope these tips help, and you can see that this sleeve is not quite as complicated as you feared. It gives a very unique result that will leave you feeling clever!
You can buy the Iris pleated tee pattern here on our store.
It wouldn’t be a Forget-me-not celebration without showcasing the amazing makers who brought our designs to life. Today, we’ll share more about who really made it all possible - you!
Fancy a stroll down memory lane? Forget-me-not is saying farewell (at least, for now), but before we go, it’s time to celebrate where we’ve been!
Forget-me-not Patterns launched July 3, 2019 with the Clementine Knit Dress pattern. It was clear from the beginning that the sewing community was eager for distinctly detailed patterns with lots of options for styling and fit. We set out to design wearable wardrobe staples with extra special details to create pieces that were both elevated and easy to wear.
Dear Sewists,
With a grateful, yet heavy heart, Forget-me-not Patterns is saying farewell. At least for now. Design and patternmaking mean absolutely everything to me, and this decision hasn’t been an easy one.
