Love your tutorials. They are really easy to follow and for the first time I have successfully attached a sleeve to the bodice and it fits well so thank you!
I've looked through many tutorials on sleeve pattern drafting and I've found yours to be the most comprehensive thus far such that it includes truing all in one tutorial. Thank you!
Great Video. You made my day! I have been looking for detailed explanation on how to draw up the curve of the sleeve. All other videos tutorials I watched did not provide an answer for me. Thank you, I got what I have been looking for all along. God bless you my sister
Woo woo 🙌 👏 I appreciate this detailed video. Thanks again. God bless you more. Pls is there any formula for inches apart from CM. If yes pls share with me because I was lost at a point in this CM 😆. Thanks
Best video on sleeves.....👍👍👍👍👍👍pls ma , assuming it's a princess dart bodice.....do I take the arm hole circumference after joining d fabric?taking note that seam allowance is already added on d bodice.i await it response ma.God bless
You can only measure armhole after fabric had been joined if you are doing free hand. But for pattern, even if is princess, you contour on your sleeve pattern( paper) to make it align with that of the bodice.
Best sleeve drafting tutorial ever! Well done! I need a little clarification please. For the elbow location,is it sleeve length/2 +1 inch or sleeve length /2 - 1"?
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. However, my question is how do I modify this block for a 3/4( just a little below the elbow) or short sleeves length? Do I need to take my wrist measurement for that too? Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response.
Thanks for commenting. The thing is you are to draft your BASIC sleeve pattern full length like I did. At anytime you have to do sleeve, you will transfer from the BASIC pattern to your working paper, the length you want depending on the style at hand.
There are guidelines/ formulae. To know your armhole depth, use ⅓ of armhole circumference minus 1cm..( you would have measured the bodice armhole circumference both front and back summed together then do the division.
This method and its formula/ calculation was worked upon severally before the final conclusion. It is best done in CM. Using inches will lose its authenticity. Thanks for commenting
Yes ma. No ease. When taking round sleeve measurement, we don't make it cling to the skin like bust and hip. We understand that muscles contrast at the region. Hence no ease. Thanks and sorry for late response.
