Just wonderful. Thank you so much. Your videos have made a big difference. They are the best I have ever come across. Thank you for your generosity and sharing.
I love how you're so concise yet get across so much information about variations. Also, I love that we got to see you at the seam allowances and cuff hem on this one. Thanks so much!
I wanted to tell you that thanks to your video(s) about sleeves, I made my best looking/fitting sleeve yet, and I would not have figured it out from the other tutorials that I was watching before. You obviously know exactly what you're doing and I so appreciate the time you took to share it! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
You are such a wizard with that ruler! Cant believe you added seam allowances even along the curves so perfectly. Thank you for another simple and easy to follow tutorial. I would love to see how you actually sew the garmnets...or at least how to do collars of diferent types. Perhaps someday you would find the time?
Possibly, but sewing is not my area of expertise. There are many sewing instruction videos out there. You might also look for local sewing classes you can take.
Thanks for the video, i like this method but i have a couple questions. I take 2.5 cm out of the back at pitch point on my patterns for suit jackets but, how do i adjust the sleeve pattern to accommodate this adjustment? Do i create a sloper using the altered pattern and then continue with this method or Should i draft a regular sloper before any adjustment and then alter the sleeve afterwards?
Hi Chris, your demo here is the most comprehensive I've seen yet. Starting to draft for clients so very new to made to measure. What are the differences here to a mens jacket sleeve? I work in denim and leather only and seem to always screw up the sleeve shoulder area!
Thanks David. A men's jacket sleeve can be drafted with this method quite well. Try it out. Traditionally a tailor would draft the sleeve using a complex list of formulas. I don't recommend it unless you have more tailoring and drafting experience.
I'm working with a store bought pattern that shows the 2 pieces of sleeves exactly as you demo. My problem is my upper arm needs more room and also the chest/arm area in front pulls because it's tight. How can I adjust the sleeves to fit my upper arm and not have any pull in the chest area?
Sorry for the late reply. You can add width to the upper and under sleeve patterns. This will make the sleeve cap longer, so you'll need to either ease in the excess, or shorten the sleeve cap height to remove the extra length.
Hi Chris... loving your teaching methods, so much easier. managed to do my first dress. I can't find the arm's eye video... do you have a link? Also can you do a video on how to make pants. thanks.
Perhaps you're searching for the wrong title. It's Drafting Sleeve Sloper, Professional Method. As I've said many times, drafting pants is challenging, even for professionals. You're probably better off starting from an existing pattern, or rubbing off a pattern from a pair of pants that fit you.
Hello, could you tell us all please the ruler and french curve type you use in your lessons. Am I right in thinking not all French curves are the same? Your videos are so inspiring. Thank you.
I use a fairly standard C-Thru ruler, available at most craft and sewing supply stores. The French curve is made by more than one company, but you may have to order one online. It's available alone, or as part of a set. Look for the number "6" shape. It's the one you'll get the most use out of.
Making a tuxedo coat is rather advanced pattern making. I may eventually get around to it. I suggest you get a good pattern drafting book, or take some classes.
I love this but I have a question because I'm totally new to this. When you are tracing the under sleeve, are you tracing the inner seam allowance lines or the cutting lines?
Hello Mr. Satorial, Many thanks for excellent teaching. Would you consider a tutorial for 'inward rotation of the elbow'? My long sleeve twists when arms are relaxed - the underarm seam aligns with the base if the thumb instead of the center if the inside wrist. Th sleeve pulls against the elbow. Very twisty and uncomfortable. PS - my goldens are happy when your little dog barks :-) Alberta
Thanks for this video. I’ve used all of your previous tutorials and they’ve always given far superior results to others I’ve tried. It’s always exciting to get a notification of a new upload from your channel. Will you be doing a woman’s trouser tutorial in the future?
Lots of requests for a pant sloper. If I can simplify the draft while maintaining good results, I'll show one. Still in the testing stage, and may be for a while.
thank you.. it is just too many lines on the upper sleeve patter, that if it was done with different color makers would not be confusing to me. But i will try it until i get it right..lol
Thanks Kamal. Most of pattern drafting I'm demonstrating is from body measurements, so they should work with a wide variety of body types. For a fuller waist, you may need to leave out waist darts, and add extra at the side seams.
Ok guy ,Please don't make me laugh now, you think that is a 2 piece tailored sleeve ? it has to be born a 2 piece , not manipulated into one. That s why on 98% of women suit jkt./ coats the sleeve sucks , cause womenswear pattern makers make it the same way you do. That is a freaking shirt sleeve split in 2
Hi John. There are many ways to draft a two piece sleeve. This is only one of them. I am familiar with the formula method for making a man's suit sleeve, but it is very complicated, and definitely not for beginners. I have, however used this draft method to make women's jacket sleeves very successfully.
I am working on blazers for a female client. I this two piece sleeve, fitted her yesterday and she was very pleased with the results. It hung very well on her arm and it is really flattering. She was so pleased with it compared to the one I had earlier drafted from a book by Aldrich. Thank you so much Christopher

I'm glad. I hope you find it useful.
Absolute best! I made a perfect sleeve after so many previous failed attempts and when I was on the verge of giving up!
Wonderful! I'm glad it worked for you.
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen: you made this so easy to understand and follow what you are doing! Hooray!
I'm glad you like it.
You know Mr. Sartorial this sleeve technique is more useful than you’re letting on! Had I known of you sooner I’d have saved a few bucks on books! 😊
You haven’t been buying the right books. It’s a classic method.

Thank you sir it was so helpful. 💓💓
I love your work you should upload videos more often. Your videos are well explain step by step. Thank you
Great to see a new video. Really appreciate your clarity and direction. Would so love if you can also do a men's bodice sloper some day... Cheers
I'm planning to show a man's shirt draft soon. Thanks Mark.
Another stellar tutorial!
Thank you so much. I've always wanted to learn this. I tried it and it came out perfectly
I'm glad it worked for you.
Thank you for the Tutorial. well illustrated and easy to understand.

Thank you, Mr. Satorial. You always make drafting so easy!!! Thumb's up.
Thanks again.
Thank you very much . God bless you. I will try it today
Hurray! I missed you CrisSartorial! Thank YOU!!
Kind of you. I'll try to speed the next one along.
Thanks for this lesson, so easy to understand and practical too.
I'm glad you liked it.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure what you mean by "pitch point", but I suggest you draft a sleeve sloper to use with your suit jackets.
I saw good graphics.
I am doing a lot of research as a women's wear patterner.
The dog was giving good advice in thw background 😂
You heard my dog barking. I also have a problem keeping my cat from jumping up onto my drafting table.
Sir you are great
Waiting for more videos

Thanks Chris it was great,for me exselent.thank you very much.
You're very welcome Ileen.
I love this but I have a question because I'm totally new to this. When you are tracing the under sleeve, are you tracing the inner seam allowance lines or the cutting lines?
I'm tracing on what will be the sew lines. As you saw, I later added seam allowances to both pieces.
@@christophersartorial7671 thank you very much. I was able to get my pattern made. I have not seen it yet.

I have the same problem…twisting of the sleeve. Would like to know how to fix and avoid that.

Terimakasih pak Chris. Tidak sabar menanti tutorial berikutnya.
My apologies for not understanding you. I know French and Spanish rather well, and a little Japanese.
I am Indonesian. Terimakasih mean thank you.
You're very welcome. The only Indonesian I know is the happy birthday song I frequently hear on cruises.
can we apply this type of sleevesin mens blazer? Sir
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can use this draft for a men's blazer, although tailors use a different method of drafting from formulas.
Thank you so much! So easy and profesh
I'm glad you like it.
Thank you.. I just sew it
Again thank you.
Make a vedio on blazer pattern and explain technically

I'll have to get one of my Korean friends to translate.
Why did you not just add extra o.5 inches to the upper sleeve than folding the paper to trace out the lines
great!
thank you.. it is just too many lines on the upper sleeve patter, that if it was done with different color makers would not be confusing to me. But i will try it until i get it right..lol
What s the seam allowance i should mark? In mm
The amount of seam allowance is up to you. 10 mm is typical, plus whatever you'd like the bottom hem allowance to be.
Christopher Sartorial thx
Do u hve sewing classes
Sewing is not something I teach. There are many sewing instruction videos on TH-cam, and you should be able to find sewing classes locally.
Thanks
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
U R great plz make the video abnormal size heavy stomach
Thanks Kamal. Most of pattern drafting I'm demonstrating is from body measurements, so they should work with a wide variety of body types. For a fuller waist, you may need to leave out waist darts, and add extra at the side seams.
Would you be interested in being paid to create more demonstrational videos?
It's certainly something I've considered. Send information to chrissartorial@gmail.com.
