What is it with all the 3/4 sleeve sweaters? It's winter and freezing out and I want my arms to be covered. I think the manufacturers just like to cut corners and have decided that no one would notice if they shortened the sleeves. Well I did! But, I have a solution. Lace is everywhere and if you pick up a fabric to go underneath the lace that matches or compliments your sweater, all you have to do is sew an extension to your sleeve. It's an economical way to make your sweaters feminine and functional. Trims can also be stitched together to make them wider and added to your sleeves too. If you don't want to add to your sleeves, just cut them off and make a vest! That works just as well. LOL
