Thank you so much for sharing. Does it follow that the bodice sleeve curve on the pattern would also need to be altered to accommodate the extra cms now on the sleeve?
Just had the same question. Thx for asking it before 😊 I usually have this problem only around my bicep, my elbow and my underarms. My wrist width seems to be okay with most patterns though 🤪 But b/c I found this tutorial, it's going to be so much easier to handle things now. Thx a lot for that ❤
This is awesome and just what I was looking for to widen the sleeve of a cardigan so it can be worn over a long sleeved dress. Will this shorten the length of the sleeve?
@@PatternEmporium It sure looks like the new pattern piece is shorter than the original piece, the original corners at the cuff end of the sleeve are outside the newly drawn cuff - are you sure it doesn't end up shorter?
Widening a sleeve at top arm will naturally lower the sleeve head. These two elements work together. I'm wondering if it's best for you to multi-size & add a different size armhole to the body of your pattern to get the slightly larger sleeve & higher sleeve head.
So easy when you actually see it being done! Thank you for another really useful, simply explained video.
This clip will be a much viewed and referenced piece of information. I have bigger than average biceps and forearms, this adjustment is super welcome
Wow that looks so much easier than the slash method! Thanks Kate
Such helpful demo!

Hi Donna, no the armhole doesn't actually change so not changes needed to the bodice itself.
@@PatternEmporium thank you very much for your response and also for taking the time to share your knowledge, you are very kind 😊
@@donnapaynter7360 you're very welcome

Good job thanks
So would you do this if the sleeve is too tight for you. Great video,
Brilliant!!!
Would you reverse, or draw lines inside original for toothpick arms to reduce volume, using the pivot points too?
I would reverse the process. If you draw lines inside the original you'd also be altering its compatibility with the armhole.

No. If you need to shorten (or lengthen) just use the adjustments lines.

But this method reduces the height of the sleeve cap which most ladies who need extra width will likely also need MORE in the sleeve cap. I do!
