I'll be here for sure, for the next video. Your videos are very easy to understand. Up to the point that I'm starting to believe that I should just keep watching you and I might be able to make a dress for my wedding 😅
This is such an exciting resource, thank you very much! Looking forward to trousers and skirt blocks if you choose to make a video for those -- you have such a way of simplifying the information while still ensuring a complete and accurate approach. Very much appreciate your special talent and skill! 🙌🏼🎉
I just discovered you, and I have to say, I love you! I also really appreciate the effort you put into the little details! (love the pink drafting paper) ❤
Thanks for the easy to understand video. One think I'm not clear on though is the calculation for A. Is the 'total sleeve width' the same as the 'total sleeve length' or the 'sleeve width'?
Hello, my dear. It doesn't need to be bigger than the armhole circumference, unless you're making something more form fitting, like a blazer. But the extra ease can in fact help when sewing the sleeve to the bodice depending on the inserting method. In the end, it can have the same measurement, which is how I prefer, or be a little bit bigger, but it definetly shouldn't be smaller. I'm not 100% sure what could have gone wrong. This is the method I use for basic sleeves and it has always been the right fit for the garments I have made. Did you make the sleeve to fit a basic bodice/garment? Or was it a garment that needed a bigger sleeve cap height, like a blazer, how I mentioned in the vieo? Tell me some more information so I can research and help you out. In this case, since 3cm it's not such a big differente, you can add this extra measurement to the total armhole circumference before drafting the sleeves. Or even add a bit more, if you want it to be bigger than the armhole circumference. I prefer it the same length, but it's up to you. You could also extend the edges on each side by 1,5cm. Since it's just 1,5cm on each side, I don't think it will be a fit problem.
hi, I've drawn it like 6 times already and my front sleeve is always 23 cm, same as on the bodice, but the back sleeve is also 23 cm but the bodice says it should be 27 cm and the sleeve ends up beeing too short.. how is it possible? please help :(
The armhole circumference is the measurement of the front curve + the back curve! But not the total amount of both armholes added up, only one side of the bodice, since we're making 1 sleeve!
