Hey I recently did a Mandy Boat Tee too.
The only problem I had with it is the sleeve seam is just slightly too tight.
So I’m trying to wrap my head around how to make it bigger. (like 1/2″ at most)
Any suggestions?
Hi Kim! You can slash and spread the sleeve down the middle to make it bigger! You also have to lower the bottom of the arm curve on the bodice, too, but that should give you the extra room you are looking for. Hope that helps!
