That was a good one, but the measures are not clear ... hope to solve by repeatedly playing the video

[@suephlipot7236]

Thanks so much for this video - it is excellent! I think what did it for me was the last segment when you tried on the well fitting sleeve and suggested how to add in more ease for the upper cap portion ti improve the fit. This is exactly the type of help I needed! Bless you!

[@Cre8tiveGenius]

Thank you. I was having a huge problem drafting a sleeve for my pattern I made with Winifred Aldrich pattern book. This helped with the ease in the sleeve cap. Thank you

Every time I need to draft a sleeve for a pattern I’ve created I refer back to this video!

[@wfokiwis]

Idk what I get wrong but the curved part of my sleeve keeps being 2,5cm shorter 😅

[@sew.sumalee]

This was great, thank you! The only part that is unclear to me is how you determined how much to bump out/scoop prior to drawing your curve. I see that you've chosen .5 and 1cm on the back, but where did these measurements come from? I just copied your numbers, of course :)

[@franyoung9575]

This is a fantastic video, thank you. At the end you said you thought you’d need a little extra room and you were going to cut across and down. Can you explain how you’re going to do this? Thanks again.

Hi. do you have written instructions for drafting a sleeve to fit any armhole? The sleeve sloper is for a specific bodice and I am adjusting a shop bought pattern. Thanks very much

[@asma10shoot45]

Please how much ease have you added to the bicep

[@barbaraferron7994]

Q: could you give us a written version of the directions? I couldn't hear you clearly on some of the measurements. For example, I think you said the horizontal line at the base of the underarm was a third of something but I couldn't hear what.

This is the best tutorial on KZbin for drafting sleeves! I have been through countless tutorials. Please try this drafting it's 100% accurate.

[@sewfun211]

Thank you for your excellent explanation. It's exactly what I needed!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

You're the first explanation I've found on how to do this. Thank you. You have very good control of a pencil/pen in drafting.

[@jeffstamand]

Great video. Well done. Thanks for the education.

[@carolyneatugonza8504]
