Whenever I need to press little puffy sleeves I have a technique that I use. I would enjoy having a puff iron that is made just for this...but I don't need to puff sleeves often enough to spend the money. So, I thought I'd share with you all how I puff sleeves when the time does arrive. I unbutton the garment so that I can access the sleeves from the inside. (The dress I am showing here is the little dress I just recently finished. I'll show the entire dress in the next post.) Then I spray some starch evenly into the sleeve area. I wait a few moments until the starch is absorbed into the fabric and then I turn on the blow dryer and aim it into the sleeve. The air will puff out the sleeve like a balloon...which is fun. And it will dry the fabric that has just been starched. Move the blow dryer around so you don't scorch the fabric. Then after you remove the blow dryer you will have a nicely puffed sleeve. Now repeat on the other sleeve and enjoy your new creation!!!
