I just took apart one sleeve of a suit jacket I want to do. I see how the folds ought to go to keep the faux button foldover and it looks as tho there's material to do it. So what might stop me? Is the stitching impossible right side out or other mechanical complications?
The complication I faced was insufficient material. Also, the way mine was cut the tip of the foldover is the widest point. I had to seam to the narrowest points and then cut off the excess. To get the foldover the sleeve would have had to end up much smaller in diameter.
