Brittney<\/a> visited last week with with her knit romper tutorial<\/a>. She\u2019s back already with how to do a faux layered long sleeve t-shirt. By following her quick and easy steps, you can create one, too. Thanks for stopping by to share your tutorial Brittney!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I am going to show you how to make a faux layered sleeve. I am using the School Bus T-shirt<\/a>, but it would work just as well with the Women\u2019s<\/a> or Men\u2019s Metro T-shirt<\/a>, or the Field Trip Raglan T-shirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Off we go!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trace both the long sleeve and short sleeve pattern pieces, lay the short on top of the long. Draw a line on the long sleeve piece at the bottom of the short sleeve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Draw a second line one inch above the first line.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cut the pattern piece on the highest line. My pattern piece was already made, so the lower line isn’t pictured here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cut two short sleeves and two of your new lower sleeve pattern piece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With right sides together, sew or serge the two pieces together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Press the seam up, towards the sleeve cap.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fold the top of the sleeve over the lower sleeve 1\/2″, pin and sew. I like to use a twin needle, but use your preferred method of hemming.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trim the overhang (on each side) from the top of the sleeve. You can just eyeball it as I did, or lay the full long sleeve pattern over the sewn sleeve and trim.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Faux<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now sew the shirt according to the pattern’s instructions.<\/p>\n

All done!<\/p>\n
