This was originally a cardigan, and I had it sitting on Gabbi there for a very long time trying to decide what to do with it. The sleeves were the problem - they stretched out and looked awful within an hour of wearing. It didn't help I push my sleeves up a lot, but even so.
I came up with a whole lot of different ideas of fixing them: ruching, shortening and adding tabs, elasticising the cuffs... because I don't do sleeveless, I just don't like that on me.
And then it finally occurred to me - it's not like I'm ever going to wear this on its own, on account of it has no front closure (that's not me either!). So if the other item had sleeves - good to go! So off they came. I tried unpicking the seam (nightmare) so in the end just cut them off with a 1cm allowance and hand sewed that down to neaten up the armhole - simples.
And sorry there are no before shots. I did take some, but my computer recently died on me and the before photos are now missing.
Happy sewing!
Mimi
