How do I alter a sleeve of a blouse because it has become to small for me to get my arms through?

I have a blouse which was made a while ago. The person making it took my measurements but now the sleeve has become to small for me to fit my arms through. The blouse still has extra material so it can be altered. I’d like to do it myself but I’m not sure if I should take the sewing out…. if anyone could give me step to step instructions it would be help full. And also I don’t have a sewing machine so I’d have to do it by hand.

Answer #1

why dont you just go buy new clothes a size bigger?

Answer #2

Seeing as you don’t have a sewing machine, and you don’t know anything about the subject. I would suggest getting it professionally altered, or buy a new shirt.

Answer #3

u should just by new clothes but if u dont want to, i have this thing i do wen my shirts get messed up but it depends on the shirt if its a band t or baby t , or graphic tea i just cut it into short sleaves or cut the sleaves off or cut the neck and sleaves to make it one of those shirts that hang off ur shoulders
