Preparing For The Pleats…
Since the Rubies deluxe costume is FAR from deluxe, I’m going to start working on replacing it will better parts.
I wore this black jersey shirt under the Rubies costume to try and “beef up” the sleeves a bit. My plan is to remove the sleeves and then attach the new, pleated sleeves to the main part of the shirt.
I pinned the sleeve up a bit to take out some of the slack.
Marking the point on the main shirt where the seam lines up…
Area clearly marked. I repeated the same process on the other side…
I then used a seam ripper to separate the sleeves from the main part of the shirt.
