Hi Everyone, We have our winners of the French curve ruler giveaway. Congratulations to Steffany and Cheryl for your great comments and being such super fans. The drawing was yesterday! I thank you all for participating and picking my channel to guide you into being a Better Fashion Designer. I feel so honored:)!

[@tishie42]

Sleeves don't seem get enough attention to fit like pants do! Excellent work as usual. I feel very motivated after this!

[@susaneliascouture]

Great to hear Veronica:).

[@Swilxert]

This is an excellent tutorial. I've been making my own tops for archery. They have to be tight fitting, but with great mobility to allow movement of the arms up and down, but that usually means that the body will pull up as well. This is just what I needed!!

[@susaneliascouture]

I’m so happy! Your comments make me smile!

Curve sounds most practical I have seen!

I’am a fashion design student in college and have been searching for this for soo long, thx 💘

[@susaneliascouture]

I'm glad you found it. I have extensive playlist on every area of fashion design on my channel. Come on board and subscribe I would love to have you!

[@wendyb7993]

Wow what a fantastic lesson. I learned so much. You never fail to explain things in detail love that sleeve I’m impressed 🥳🥳🥳

[@soneil7745]

Thank you so much! I have such difficulty inserting gussets but I want to move my arms. I tried this out on a just-the-shoulder mockup and it leaves me as free-armed as a generous gusset insert. I'll be making a full shirt with this very soon.

[@susaneliascouture]

Great to hear. Also note I sell the special sleeve in my 3 piece Sloper set on my website at www.eliascouture.com

Thank you

[@sarojakrapalanibalakrishna4920]

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

[@tracys.5143]

Thanks Susan, your tutorials are always very interesting. This is great, and I'm definitely going to try this on my next blouse. It's so annoying when the blouse keeps riding up if you move. Now my brain is very busy trying to work out how you'd do a similar thing to achieve a crotch gusset for leggings. Best wishes, Tracy

I’m glad you liked it and learned something new! Did you do all the steps to win your #frenchcurve ruler:).

[@sewlovemydogs]

I’m so fortunate to have found this video. I sewed the arm and side seams of a woven coverlet together last night tandem found it a bit tight across the back and then realise it is too tight under the arms and biceps. Just wondering if you have a video that shows how to extend the gusset down the side as well. I love this fabric and would love to fix my mistakes. I have just enough fabric to redraw the sleeves, but would need to insert fabric down the sides. Any assistance you may be able to offer would be so much appreciated. Kind regards Heidi

[@susaneliascouture]

Thank you for the comment. It is perfectly acceptable to add a panel down the armhole to the side seams as an alteration if the fabric allows. The ideal is to make sure the front and back pieces always have extra ease at the armhole side seams to accommodate a sleeve. Usually around 2” more then the body measurements around the bust first.

[@sewlovemydogs]

@@susaneliascouture thank you so much, yes that makes perfect sense to me now.

[@romabomesor8092]

Thank you for the curve demo.

[@cherylnewton5652]

Thank you, such great information, I love all the skills you share with us.

[@DamianLewd]

Excellent just as I leaned at FIT years ago. Bravo

[@susaneliascouture]

FIIT is a good foundation thank-you

[@eshchory]

I watch a few sewing videos as 'edutainment' but my main interest is in sewing clothes to obtain a better fit for my 'non-standard' body shape. Your videos are the ones that really give me the tools to create basic shapes that will fit me. Thank you. (I am subscribed to your KZbin channel and mailing list but am not sure if the giveaway is open to international viewers)

[@susaneliascouture]

Hi Esther, Thank you for your comment! Where are you located? I will consider that for the giveaway. I have just redone my playlist and here is the link to my Sewing 101 videos you might be interested in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2K6YWpso7t5aa8 Keep in mind as well that I do make custom slopers for clients that are interseted. Keep watching and commenting I am always willing to help:).

[@lorrainemiller799]

Hi, loved your tutorial and the French curve. Just a question, do you have a tutorial on adding a gusset to a 2 piece sleeve

[@susaneliascouture]

No but you can join my members group and get a chance to ask that question and get a possible demonstration. I have a premium members group on my KZbin channel. Check it out!

[@Razzy-sr4oq]

You look the question right out of my brain, I was going to ask the same! Two piece sleeve patterns need a gusset more than most!

[@ceciliasurtada]

Of course I'll try and share 💎💎💎

[@swampfoxtaylor5728]

Please, what is the cap height of the demonstration sleeve? (finished product). It would help to know, just as a reference point. Thank you.

[@lindeoldeolthof6437]

This video is amazing! You're so inspiring! I'm now wondering this: would it be possible to incorporate the gusset on the bodice as well? I'm thinking, extending the side seam outward a little bit underneath the armscye, then blending it in with the rest of the side seam, the same way you did with the underarm seam on the sleeve. Combined with the gusset sleeve this would give an even greater range of motion. Or would this just sag and fit strangely?

[@susaneliascouture]

Thank you! The armhole has to be just right! Do not extend the underarm. The gusset has the excess already to help with movement. I NOW offer the three piece dress sloper with a gusset sleeve in a pdf printable file on my website. Here is the store link: eliascouture.com/store

[@lindeoldeolthof6437]

Great, thank you!

[@gabednconfused]

That was great!

[@susaneliascouture]

I’m glad you liked it

[@okamidt3298]

Can this be done with a short sleeve or does it have to be long sleeve? Short as in elbow/ low bicep.

[@susaneliascouture]

It doesn't matter the length of the sleeve. The gusset is under the armhole, so it will not effect it

[@okamidt3298]

@@susaneliascouture Thanks for the response! Another question: if I purchase your printable patterns, how do I use them to my measurements/ how do I make them fit a garment I’m trying to make? Sorry if it’s a silly question, I know absolutely nothing about clothesmaking. I’m trying to make a short-sleeve tunic and need a gusset to prevent riding up but would rather it not be very visible like with the diamond gusset. This seems like a good option to me but I’m not understanding how I would make this fit onto any shape of arm hole or torso as I assume they aren’t all the same. Thanks for the help :) Edit: I only ask because the tunic tutorials I’m following don’t give patterns and don’t show how to make patterns. I’d be free handing the sleeve hole and am unsure how I would make sure they fit together. I wear a men’s M for reference.

[@abiscreativecorner5840]

Thank you for this tutorial! Have you ever watched the Queen’s gambit on Netflix. If so, could you try making one of Beths outfits?

[@susaneliascouture]

Thank you for your comment. I did watch the Queen's gambit it and enjoyed it very much. I'll have to think about that. Here's a thought? You could get the pdf dress sloper set and try to do one yourself? Are you up for that?

[@dannadjd2263]

Hi thank you for this tutorial, may i ask how big the square pcs to cut,! Do i sew sleeves 1st before I put squares pcs on ! Please thank you

[@susaneliascouture]

My gusset sleeve insert is a triangle that measures 6" by 6". The video shows you how to make the sleeve without the triangle piece needed. I hope that makes sense.

[@dannadjd2263]

Thank you, is that mean i still can insert square pcs after i adding a gusset to sleeves!or i don't need to add a gusset, just insert square 6cm on ? Please thank you

[@susaneliascouture]

@@dannadjd2263 no, you must either insert a triangle piece if needed or a long rectangle panel if it needs width all the way down (the under sleeve and side seam) I hope that makes sense
