Tutorial ~ Easy Dolman Sleeve Shirt for Any Size


Looking for a quick, easy, comfortable knit shirt?  Try a Dolman-style top.  Feel free to make the sleeves larger and lower for a more dramatic look.  Also lengthen or shorten the top to suit your style.  You can also change the look by using different finishing techniques on the edges.  My friend at Jocole Patterns made this great tutorial showing 7 different ways to finish knits and offers excellent PDF patterns to which teach you to sew with knits.  If you have 1-2 yards of knit fabric, 1 hour of time and a sewing machine, you can make this top!  Let's get started....



















Please excuse Miss A's bedhead.  She was home sick the day I made this top for her. 




If you use this tutorial, I'd love to see pictures of your finished creations.  Enjoy! ~ Angie
