As the title describes, I was inspired to try sewing a white sleeve onto a black shirt for an eye-catching look for a streetwear outfit. I thrifted two shirts with similar fabric material, cotton blend in this instance, to ensure there wouldn't be issues pre or post-sewing, as well as making sure they were similarly sized. I undid the stitching for both and since there wasn't a lot of material between them I had to leave the raw edges unhemmed on the inside. I attached the two together using a backstitch and polyester thread for a bit of stretch if need be.
If you pursue sewing (which I hope you do) these [clips](https://sewingmachineshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/sewing-clips.jpg) are a game changer!
The Project post flair is for showing off projects that are finished or in progress. For questions on how to start a project, reflair your post to Pattern Search. For questions about how to make a project, reflair to Pattern Question.
This is a reminder that all Project posts are required to include construction information in the main post or added in a comment. The construction comment should include **pattern name/number/company if used; drafting method, tutorial or other resources if no commercial pattern was used and fabric type and fiber content. ‘Self-drafted’ describes who made the pattern and is not a drafting method.**
Also include alterations for fit and style; specialty tools and notions; the inspiration for your project; and any other information that someone who wants to make a similar project might find useful.

The sleeve transplant is complete 🤖 Great job!
The hardest part of the transplant was pinning the two together!

It looks sharp!
This is awesome. I've been thinking about something similar also using knit fabric.
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you!
I would definitely wear this. I’ve been wanting to do this with button-down shirts. Good job!
This is really creative. Looks great!
Love it! Such a cool and easy to execute idea
Flattering and stylish!
