In this tutorial, Nisan is showing you a cute hack for how to save a sleeve that is too tight. When the team was making this sample of the Eleanor Dress for Heather during the testing process, the cap sleeve got a little too snug to wear comfortably.

Since they had used this special silk, there was no way they weren't going to try to salvage this beautiful dress! Heather added this delicate keyhole feature, and the result is an adorable detail that you would never guess was a Hail Mary!

She will show you how to do this keyhole in bias tape or with a little facing.
