wonderful have been sewing for 40 years and this is the best I've seen I took a class at Sewing Expo and it wasn't as good or clear as this. Very highly recommend. Thank you
This is the most clear explanation I have ever come across. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Can you please consider doing a follow up video on drafting a two part sleeve if you like the idea and think there would be enough interest.
I liked way you explained everything on this video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Have you done a video of men two piece sleeve if you have where can I see it. Thank you so much.
Very good tutorial. Am drafting a sleeve for outerwear jacket and have some confusion that I hope you may be able to help me with. The total armhole (front & back) measurement is just over 19" and I used a predetermined cap height based roughly on that amount of one-third for a cap height of 6". I wanted extra ease in the arms arriving at 14" (instead of 13") for bicep. Now do I need to keep this pre-determined cap height or should it be shortened to allow more arm movement and accommodate the wider bicep amount. (In another video the bicep line was raised & lengthened thus shortening the cap height and lengthening the inseam). My confusion lies in the cap height as I don't want to have an ill fitting sleeve. Perhaps the answer may lie in using your method of swinging the ruler to the mid point line from the end of the bicep line to determine the best cap height? My goal is to have less ease in the cap that will closely match the armhole measurement with the hope it may allow more arm movement. I hope this explanation isn't too muddled and thank you for any guidance you may have.
@@StitchingVulture Thank you - I did use the average of the total of front & back bodice armhole measurements to have a starting point for the diagonal line from bicep to top of sleeve. I found once I created the cap (and curves) that it was a bit more ease than desired, so I slightly lowered (by 1/8") the top mid=point, redrawing the curves (as you demonstrated with increasing the cap height). It has worked beautifully and I have a sleeve cap that should fit well (just under 1/2" ease) into the armhole. Your method was so helpful and I do appreciate that you got me "on the right track".
At 16.36 on the new draft for the darts, have you taken the seam allowances also and traced it, or omitted the seam allowances and taken only the measured pattern. Please explain. I did not get that part. Thank you for making such a precise sleeve drafting tutorial.
Wonderful explanation as well as notes for a newbie. Thank you so much!❤

You have great explanation! And very professional method. Hope you make more videos about drafting pattern.
This was the best sleeve block that I have come across!!! And I have seen quite a few! Thank you
THANK YOU DEAR .🌹🌹🌹 THE BEST SLEEVE TUTORIAL EASY TO UNDERSTAND
Well explained..
Simple explanation much easier to understandband I like it 👌
Thank you!!! I was looking for exactly this. All the dart tutorials on youtube are for adding shape to the bodice.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤
Thnx for showing the patern with the darts. I would like to use this. Im leening the make my own sleeve patern. I like this tutorial.
Very nice
thank you for the tutorial
superb

I typically draft the sleeve based on the bicep. A wider bicep will yield a lower cap. A narrower bicep will result in a high cap.

Can you show how to make arm holes please!
Thanks.
Need a bodice pattern
Superb

All drafts are drawn without seam allowance. Seam allowance is added after the draft is completed.
Any suggestion for it be bubble at the front shoulder when sewn to the armhole. The shoulder end is just staying up on its own.
I'm not sure what you are describing.
@@StitchingVulture the edge of the shoulder is pointy and sticks up rather than laying flat to the shoulder.
Thanks for showing. How easy can the ease be sewn into the bodies?
Any set-in sleeve sewing technique will work.
Bomb hacks!
Thank you so much
