Question about sleeves

[madamemodiste]

Some patterns call for you to line sleeves with stiff netting...such as 1890's and 1830's. I don't bind the seam allowance or use a lining, so the netting rubs most uncomfortably into my arm. Other than binding it with bias tape, is there any other trick? Probably not, I figured I'd ask anyway!

Thanks!

By the way, the zig zag "Colleen Atwood" bodice is complete except for back closure and button decoration on the front. I think I did it!! Can't wait to show you when it's done!

Woohoo! Can't wait to see the bodice!

I still have to do something with my sleeves with netting. But I have to figure out what won't be scratchy.

Yeah, I learned a tough lesson wearing my 1890's bodice. Ouch!
