Re: Cut-on Gusset

Mr. King, this is brilliant!!! Now a question for you and other pros...
Can I apply the cut-on gussett technique to save my ready made wool jackets? I have several classic wool jackets, which unfortunately are too snug in the upper arm area. Not only are they unattractive when worn, they are also uncomfortable. I have already converted several of them into vests; I do not want more vests!!!
So for these jackets, I want to enlarge the upper arm area of the sleeves. It seems I can apply this technique. Of course, I will need to be creative to find compatible fabric for the gussett. Any opinions? Suggestions? Thanks in advance for your responses.
