10 NovSew a perfect sleeve cup
Do you think that sewing sleeves is a difficult task? Nothing is further from reality. You only have to follow a few steps and you will see that it is not complicated at all and you will be encouraged to make more and more complicated garments.
It is important that I remind you to iron each seam once you have done it. This gesture makes your garment have an excellent finish.
STEP BY STEP
1. First sew the sleeve by folding it in half with the right side in and polish the margin with a zigzag or overlock seam.
2. Sew the front and back with rights inwards at the shoulders and sides and trim the allowance.
3. Turn the sleeve to the right side and tuck it into the armhole
4. Match all the sleeve notches with the body (front and back notch, center shoulder and side).
5. Pin where needed to hold the sleeve securely before sewing.
6. You will see that in the upper part of the sleeve (cup) you have excess fabric, do not be scared that it is normal.
Normally in flat fabrics (those that are not knitted) the sleeve is usually a few centimeters more than the length of the body's armhole. This is called “loose”. These extra centimeters are added so that the sleeve fits well to the body.
To remove this excess fabric, move the sleeve cup slightly between the notch on the front and the notch on the back until it no longer creases. This action is called “embedding”.
7. Sew as usual at 1 centimeter seam.
8. Once the sleeve has been sewn, cut out the excess and polish the seam allowance.
9. Turn the garment inside out and iron all the seams well.
An impeccable result!

Hola! Buscando información de cómo arreglar el sobrante de tela de la manga para un chubasquero que estoy haciendo (con una tela plastificada) he encontrado este post. A ver si me puedes ayudar porque estoy desesperada, he cosido tres veces la manga y por el sobrante que tiene se quedan pellizcos en la tela que al ser tan rígida queda feísimo. En el punto 6 cuando dices desplazar la copa de la manga, lo que haces que es sacar tela de la manga hacia afuera por esa zona? En la foto se ve más tela fuera de la manga que de la sisa, no están alineadas, a eso te refieres con desplazar la copa?. Muchas gracias desde ya.
Hola Maria Jose, disculpa que no te haya contestado antes. Había desactivado el blog porque por ahora no tengo mucho tiempo para poderlo actualizar y pensaba que mi programador lo había cerrado. He entrado y acabo de ver tu consulta. Si no lo has podido solucionar todavía espero que te ayuden mis consejos. Si hay alguna cosa que no entiendas estaré pendiente para contestarte rápidamente. que no me vuelva a pasar lo mismo de contestarte casi un mes más tarde.
Si, a lo que me refiero con desplazar la copa de la manga es lo que efectivamente dices. Saco la tela de la manga hacia afuera en esta zona hasta que el recorrido de la sisa de la manga y el recorrido de la sisa del cuerpo me coinciden y veo que no me sobra tejido. Esto también lo puedes hacer antes en el patrón de papel recortando lo que te sobra. Yo prefiero hacerlo directamente con la tela porque queda mas preciso. Una vez lo hayas cosido recortas lo que te sobra y ya está. Queda la manga perfectamente cosida.
Dime si lo has entendido, sino te puedo hacer un pequeño video para que se vea mejor.
Un saludo
Marta
Hello,
Sorry I have not answered before. I had to deactivate my blog because I could not update it, but I have seen that my programmer has not done it.
I make the blog and the photographs. I write the blog with the problems I usually have when I make a garment and that other people have the same thing. I also write about details of the clothes I have on my website.
I'm glad that you like them. If you want me to talk about a specific topic or have a question that you would like to solve, you can tell me and I will keep it in mind for the next time you activate the blog.
Thank you
Martha
Thank you very much for your words. I'm happy you liked my blog.

Muchas gracias Marta por tu respuesta, como dice el refrán “más vale tarde que nunca”, lo he entendido perfectamente. pensé que estos ajusten afectarían a la holgura de la unión de la manga con la sisa pero ya he podido comprobar que no, al poner en práctica lo que comentaste en el blog. De verdad te agradezco muchísimo este post y que me hayas contestado terminando de aclarármelo, porque me ha servido mucho. Un saludo y de nuevo mil gracias.
De nada Maria José.
Estoy haciendo algunas mejoras en la web y una de ellas será volver a activar el blog. Un saludo y cualquier duda no dudes en preguntar. Mejor si tienes dudas lo hagas a través de instagram porque lo miro cada dia y seguro que no me pasará como con los comentarios en la web que no los miraba porque pensaba que estan desactivados.
Un saludo y hasta la próxima
