De-puffing a sleeve

My client likes this sweater but not the puffy sleeve. I am de-puffing it.  Look how much excess is in the puff! Crazy.  De-puffed side looks smoother and more sophisticated.

Shortened the sleeves.  I had to eliminate the vents (but really, who uses vents and why are they there?) because the would have been about 1/4" long if I left them.

Back to hemming (which is a relief)

Phew, something that is not as complex as re-creating rock star outfits for Halloween. Hemming jeans makes  me happy.

finished and in Vegas

This was a crazy finish this coat. I was so busy sewing I hardly could take photos. She has promised me some of her in it at the Lady GaGa concert in Vegas. Trust me, it is really cute and she looks hot in it. In my basement as I am madly sewing .... not as hot but that is ok.

This will be done tonight

Lady Gaga almost done

This is being designed as we go but it will turn out great and my client will look great
