Introduction
Based off of the title, you may have guessed it, we are going to learn how to fix a sleeve on an article of clothing! Your sleeve may have been too loose or the threading may have come undone. Here you will learn how to easily adjust your clothing to the best fit by following a few simple steps.
You will see that I have added markers to a few selective steps to better indicate direction to the steps as well as notes and reminders for any repetition needed to be made.
Happy fixing!

-
Insert the holding pin downward through the fabric.
-
Insert the holding pin back over the fabric in an upward direction.
-
Tie a knot at the end of your thread. We do this so that when you begin to sew, it does not weave out of its initial start.
-
-
-
Reinsert the needle through the initial start of your hem.
-
Insert the needle upward, once more, through the second pierce you made.
-
-
-
Grab both ends of the thread and bring together to form a halfway loop.
-
Tie a double knot tightly. Imagine you are tying a shoelace but only halfway.
-
You'll pull the knot tightly to secure in place.
-
-
-
After tying the knot, take the fabric scissors and cut off excess thread closest to the formed knot.
-
Repeat the last step for the excess thread at the initial sewing starting point.
-
You have completed your sleeve threading.
-
Once you have selected your thread color (to match your article of clothing), you may begin the steps accordingly. The steps are repetitive from the beginning of your first sew, until the end.
