I had this exact top and got rid of it because of the sleeves 😢 but I want to try this method on my other madewell tops/dresses, their sleeves are always too big for me, thank you for this video!!

Thanks, it was hard to find how to make a sleeve smaller. I have a short bell sleeve so I am assuming I will do it the same way.

Would this work on knit sweaters? Mine has these balloon sleeves that I want to turn into regular sleeves.
