I would have given this video 10 likes if I could as it gives me exactly the information I have been searching for. Thank you, thank you and thank you again.
And with that I have the perfect set of slopers to stitch whatever I want for myself ! Thank you so much! Can I appy the same principles when I sew clothes for my granddaughters? A toddler and a baby.Your website is the most precious thing Ive found till date when it comes to sewing I have learnt so much from you.
thank you again. for teaching me properly. I got so frustrated with different videos and no one person had the bodice and sleeve pattern together like you. I have been searching for three day. I have always struggled with the sleeves. Tank you again. I am subscribing right now.
you made it so easy to understand. i had been getting so confused about the different sleeve cap lengths for different types of garments after watching so many tutorials... n nobody was talking about sleeve caps ...n with every tutorial, the sleeve cap length kept changing.. it was so confusing!!! n even if a rare video did talk about it, then the method to change the drafting pattern accordingly, wasnt clear. it got so frustrating........THANK GOD i found your video!!😊🙏
Just came across your tutorial and found it so very helpful. I am learning to draft pattern pieces and wondered how to make sleeves - thank you for sharing this!
Very good tutorial! I’m in the process of making a kameez and am studying different videos on how to draft the sleeves. Your video is very informative and well explained. Thank you!
Hi sandy. Thank you so much for the tutorial. You were in the mid sentence about making t-shirt what we should use. That was my punch line. De we typically use medium, which is 2/3 for sleeve cap foe t-shirt? Thanks so much
Thank you! 🙏 This is such a helpful and clear explanation! And the cat 😂! I have two questions. I’m on my way to make a basic choli blouse. I wonder, how much would be added to the arm contour measurement for the sleeve to be not too tight but not loose. I’m sewing from ordinary 100% cotton fabric. The sleeve should be tight, but not too much, right? Does the length of the sleeve influence the ease you add to the sleeve width? Thank you
Thank you for the video, very easy to understand! My question is, why did you subtract -4.5cm to get the width of the armhole? Also, is it applicable to all sizes? If not, how do one determine how much to subtract? Thank you in advance!
Hi,sandy. I really appreciated this lesson about the basic sleeve. But i'm interested on the tools that you're using. I'm in South Africa. I'd like to have them. all the french curves, the L shape ruler etc... plz how much the set can cost ?
If you follow step by step with a measuring tape, paper and pencil it makes more sense. - Be ready to pause and start the video as many times as you need. - You will need a blouse to measure the armhole if you don't have a pattern. - To get the length of the cap, measure your blouse from shoulder to armpit and divide by 3 and use 2 thirds. Then to get the width of your sleeve, measure all around the armhole of your blouse (back and front) and use half of that.
We get sleeve cap by measuring shoulder to armpit (of front pattern), divide by 3 and use 2 thirds. Watch the beginning again. She also talks more about it at the end.
Thank you :) Make the curve baseline wider, give it 1/4" more to every side, don't worry is the curve gets bigger than the armholes total, a good sleeve is 2 or 2.5 cm max, bigger than the armholes, to sew it give a basting stitch to the curve to accommodate it to the armhole.
Hii jus great tutorials 👌soo inspired ..jus one pbrlm hw do i download free pattern in ur inbox to show i have subsrided thank u love frm South Africa💖
I’m just the opposite…. Inches is like a foreign language (even though I had inches when I was 5yo). The metric system for sewing is SO much simpler….. give it a go ❤️
The sleeve cap looks too Fat. For casual wear that does not require very nice look, that will be still ok. But for fitted wear with clean finish, it still needs shaping the curve line a lot. Fat sleeve cap will cause more extra fabric around the top.
- You did not explain WHY we need to reduce our armhole total by 4.5 cm?? In your example you had 49.5 ÷2 = 24.75 - 4.5 = 20.25 - All fine, but don't we need to add a bit for the stitching?
Explanation 😅: Armholes ÷ 2 - 4.5 is the formula. If you dont reduce those 4.5, the sleeve cap will be soo big for the armholes. We reduce that because the curves of the armhole and the sleeve cap curve are different shape, we cant just transfer the same measurement and 4.5 is the standard for that reduction. No need to add more for stitches because these patterns dont include seam allowances, these are basic patterns. You need to add seam allowances after make the pattern transformation to the garment you want.
This is by far the most helpful sleeve video I've EVER seen. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing the formula for making shorter/longer sleeve caps. Your method is very clear and it worked well when I followed it.

I have two questions.
I’m on my way to make a basic choli blouse. I wonder, how much would be added to the arm contour measurement for the sleeve to be not too tight but not loose. I’m sewing from ordinary 100% cotton fabric. The sleeve should be tight, but not too much, right?
Does the length of the sleeve influence the ease you add to the sleeve width?
Thank you
1.5cm seam allowance is generally considered a standard. Its up to you to add more. It also depends on the material you use.
So easy to understand, thank you!
Thanks so much really understood every concept very well.
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. Does this method apply to children clothing too? Or are there any measurements I'd need to adjust. Thank you.
Great video. Very good information. Thank you!
Very good explanation. Thanks a lot.
Very nice and perfect explanation ❤️❤️
Thanks you are a good teacher ❤❤❤
What about seam allowance and hemming? Thanks
Thank you so much ❤️ for sharing this video I love your explanation
If I wanted to have enough room for a gather stitch on the sleeve (to make a blazer) how much would I need to add to the sleeve head please?
Thank you for the video, very easy to understand! My question is, why did you subtract -4.5cm to get the width of the armhole? Also, is it applicable to all sizes? If not, how do one determine how much to subtract? Thank you in advance!
Thanks,
Thank you for the clarification. You're the best!
You explanation help me a lot thanks
Hi,sandy.

You explain so well.
What notches do use to determine the gather stitch for a blazer sleeve?
I am new at sewing, and this looks easy, but difficult.
If you follow step by step with a measuring tape, paper and pencil it makes more sense. - Be ready to pause and start the video as many times as you need. - You will need a blouse to measure the armhole if you don't have a pattern. - To get the length of the cap, measure your blouse from shoulder to armpit and divide by 3 and use 2 thirds.

Wow teacher! so glad I found you!! You just got a New subscriber😁
Very helpful thank you xxx
Great. Love it. Thank you
thank you for the great video. and it's a really tutorial. but i have a question. how we can measure sleeve cap?
We get sleeve cap by measuring shoulder to armpit (of front pattern), divide by 3 and use 2 thirds.
Watch the beginning again. She also talks more about it at the end.
Can I use same method for men's sleeve?...thank you.
Just what I have been searching for b, thank you so much .💗
Love your explanation 🥰
After measuring the with of the are hole on garment why you choose to take 3 inches off instead of two, I am a beginner.
Perfect. And thank you
Thank you for sharing. Good to see you back.🤗
It is easier to close shoulder than insert sleeve.
Side seam is open.
Once sleeve is inserted than close side and underarm.
No
@@LS-vq2or Why?
I love your video but have a question. My total sleeve curve is 1/4 inch too small. How do I adjust this to make it work?
Thank you :)
Make the curve baseline wider, give it 1/4" more to every side, don't worry is the curve gets bigger than the armholes total, a good sleeve is 2 or 2.5 cm max, bigger than the armholes, to sew it give a basting stitch to the curve to accommodate it to the armhole.

Is this sleeve pattern applicable for pattern with darts and ease difference in front and back
yes, the patterns im using have ease difference and darts, you can see them here: th-cam.com/video/vaRWigwLSFA/w-d-xo.html
I like this chanel
I can understand by using inches not cm.
I’m just the opposite…. Inches is like a foreign language (even though I had inches when I was 5yo).
The metric system for sewing is SO much simpler….. give it a go ❤️

Yes!
I was following this video very well until the “minus 4.5cm”…. Now totally confused 🥴🤷♀️

Armholes ÷ 2 - 4.5 is the formula. If you dont reduce those 4.5, the sleeve cap will be soo big for the armholes.

@@SandySewingGuru thanks for the reply!!
Sis stitching allowance not tell😑😑😑 pls kindly tell sis
1.5cm seam allowance is generally considered a standard. But you can allow more if you want. Add 1.5 before cutting.
Thank you, this is a great tutorial I have been looking. Next time please keep your kitty away, some people are having cats phobias
I personally love seeing animals. I dont think she should have to stop the video and edit it for the few people who may get upset
Thank you
