This week on Fit Tip Tuesday, I'm tackling another issue you can run into when you're working on a top with a non-stretch fitted sleeve. If you can pick up your arms... Or, if your sleeve and back feel snug when you try to bring your arms forward... I've got two easy fit adjustments for you!
Think about your armhole like it's a hinge. If the base of the armhole is too low, it will limit the range of motion you have when you try to pick up your arms. I'll show you how to raise or fill in the base of the armhole to get it up to where it should be. If the base of your armhole is in the right spot and your sleeve feels snug when you try to move your arms forward, I have a fix for that too! Join me and I'll show you how!
