How to Fit Your Blazer Correctly For Growth

• Have student put the blazer on, and stand behind them, looking into a mirror.
• Shoulder width: As you stand behind them, curl your middle finger around the edges of the shoulder pads on each shoulder, so that the tip of your middle finger touches their arm.
• As you do this, you're looking for at least one knuckle worth of growing room on each shoulder.
• That is, the distance from their arm, to the part on your finger where the material/shoulder pads stop, should ideally be the length from one finger knuckle to the next on an average sized adult.
• Sleeve length: with arms down beside body, sleeves should end at the top part of the fold on your hand at the top of your thumb to allow growing room.
• NOTE: If your child's blazer is shorter than where a watch is worn on their wrist even after the sleeves have been let down, then it's time to buy a new blazer!

How to Adjust Blazer Sleeves

To Take Sleeves Down

1. With the sleeves inside out, find the seam in the lining where the hem is, and unpick this row of stitches.
2. Next, locate the edge where the lining meets the wool fabric. Where all the seams intersect, there will be an anchor point where the lining and fabric are stitched together, so you need to cut this stitch.
3. To do this, you will need to unpick a small amount of the horizontal seam and cut the anchor stitch on each side.
4. Once you have cut the anchor stitiches, resew the lining to the edge of the wool fabric so it won't detatch any further.
5. Next roll down the lining, and the sleeve itself until there is a 2mm hem left.
6. Now you need to iron a new seam into the end of the sleeve and iron the old crease away. It's very important that you don’t iron directly onto the wool fabric or it will go shiny or may scorch. Instead, use a damp cloth or pillowcase. Place the damp fabric over the old seam, and iron along the old crease.
7. Then press the damp cloth over the new desired seam, and carefully iron the cuff seam. 
8. You're done!

To Take Sleeves Up

1. Follow steps 1 – 4 above, but instead of rolling the sleeves down, pull the lining up until the sleeves are at the desired length.
2. Then sew a hem half the length you desire into the lining, as it is doubled over. You can do this easily by hand using a basic tack stitch, or by using a sewing machine.
3. Follow steps 6 – 8 to iron the cuff.
