Christine Haynes Verano Sleeves

Buy the Verano Sleeves sewing pattern from Christine Haynes. Use this pattern to transform the Verano Tank into a sleeved top or dress. The original Verano pattern is sleeveless and has four views, each with the option of a plain or button front, for a total of eight variations. Add these three sleeve patterns, and the number of variations goes up to 32 for a closet full of options!

Sleeve 1 is short, with gathers at the shoulder and a straight hem with optional elastic. Sleeve 2 is slightly longer, with gathers at the shoulder and a curved hem with optional elastic. The curved hem will result in a bigger pouf at the hem. Sleeve 3 is bracelet length, with gathers at the shoulder and at the hem, which is sewn into a 1" wide cuff band.

Note: This pattern is only for the sleeves. You will need the original Verano Tank Top and Dress pattern to sew a complete garment. If you have not yet purchased the original pattern, you can do so here.
