Step 6Mesh net sleeve construction.
Put kraft paper at the bottom and started tracing and blending both shapes.
Made it longer to extend past my wrist as well.
Kept checking to make sure everything fits, at first it didn't but I fixed it and finally had a paper pattern to cut the hard-to-get mesh net fabric from. Placed the paper pattern on the fold of the fabric, crosswise grain so that the selvage can act as a finished edging on the wrist.
Could have made a slimmer sleeve to begin with but my concern was the new raglan sleeve fitting in the original tshirt which still has its curved ribbed neckline.
It's also possible to apply the raglan sleeve then put ribbed knit neckline, like in other tshirts, but I didn't want to spend the extra time to do so.
I also bought red mesh fabric that was shiny, sparkly on one side and thought of using it as sleeves.
There was another idea of having a ladder down the shoulders. I would like to use these variants but I cannot find the tshirt anymore despite much Internet or Ebay searching.
