Hello, I'm facing the same issue with sleeves slipping off the shoulder. Thank you for telling how to fix it by shortening the elastic length, but the elastic I previously used was only an eighth of an inch long. How much should I adjust it now, considering I'm sewing the dress for someone else? Additionally, I don't have elastic for the neckline; instead, I've done shirring on it. What should I do in this case?
I usually just leave the elastic in there and add an extra smaller elastic (1/4 inch or 6mm) in there as well if there is space to feed it in the same casing as the existing elastic
This is so helpful now I can fix my sleeves that constantly fall down ❤❤❤
Excellent! I'm so glad this is helpful
Thank you!!
Thank you!!! I really need this!!
You're very welcome
Did not even think of this! Thank you! ❤
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful
Thanks a million! 🌺🌸
No worries! Hopefully it helps if you want to have a go with one of your tops or dresses
@@MyMumMakes absolutely! I have a blouse that would need this! 🌺🌸
Thank you for this! I have a dress that I love but I haven’t worn yet because the sleeves are always falling. Definitely going to use this trick!
Ooo cutie
!!😫 Thank you for this wonderful hack❤️

I have two beautiful blouses that do exactly that, but there's no elastic. What can I do to fix that? Thanks
Could you add elastic into it? Maybe thin elastic into the seam or use bias tape on the inside to create a place to put the elastic?
@@MyMumMakes I'm afraid not, the sleeves are supposed to flow. Plus I can't sew to save my life, lol.
Thanks ❤
How do you fix when the elastic is sewn onto the material?
I usually just leave the elastic in there and add an extra smaller elastic (1/4 inch or 6mm) in there as well if there is space to feed it in the same casing as the existing elastic
@@MyMumMakes I just did that, thank you for the response and help.
@@virginiaflores7975 my pleasure! Any time
I can’t try this because i will ruin my top. 😔
Wow last exam, that’s impressive ! Good luck 🎉
This is very helpful! I just have one problem, the middle doesn't have any elastic and it's just very spacey, what can I do to fix this?
By the middle do you mean the neckline? Could you use a piece of bias tape to create a casing to thread a piece of elastic through possibly?
What if the elastic is already sewn into the arm?
Are you able to pull the existing elastic tighter or if it's sewn down can you run a smaller 6mm (1/4 inch) elastic in there through the same casing
