Do you think you could demonstrate adding an elastic cuff to the nano-puff? I have one but the sleeves are just a hair too short.

I got a new jacket recently and soon discovered loose stitching on the sleeve underarm.

On my precious jacket I didn’t want to use a sewing machine -sewing the two layers together- so I used a needle and the loose thread to secure the loose threads to the fabric.

This time I tried my grandmothers #12 crochet needle to crochet (knot) the threads to the secure stitches and pull the ends under.
