Sleeve Patterns Made Easy + How to Draft Them

Рет қаралды 435,623

Күн бұрын

In this comprehensive tutorial, I start by covering the basic concepts of sleeve patterns and then elaborate on how to draft your very own sleeve pattern for any project.
A lot of people in my comments mention that sleeve patterns are hard to understand and are intimidated by drafting them. I believe by just learning some basic principles, sleeves can be fairly easy to understand and make.
By the end, you'll have acquired the skills and knowledge to draft sleeves effortlessly, whether it's for a basic t-shirt or an elaborate evening gown.

Dear Cornelius, I'm an enthousiast grandma from the Caribbean, who wanted to sew a traditional country outfit for my 3 year old grand daughter! Due to Cultural Heritage week.

@TheGabygael 10 ай бұрын

note that reason why the t-shirt sleeve is so comfortable while the armhole is cut so low is because the fabric is strechy. If you want more comfort in the arm on a less giving fabric, you'll want the armscye to be cut higher to allow for a full range of movement (an armscye cut lower will create friction and tension when rising the arm) and the sleeve can (and probably should) be left a bit larger than the armhole having the top eased into the correct length, the sleeve will then encapsulate the begining of the shoulder giving enough ease to rise the arms comfortable but not so much it becomes a puffed sleeve (it's also a great way to have a knitted jacket look more like a blazer because it's how tailored pieces are generally cut : make the head of the sleevehead a bit wider than normal, ease it into the armscye when sewing it in)

This is why dolman sleeves look like they will be comfortable, but actually require you to keep your arms pinned to your side. Any arm movement upwards moves the entire garment up, off the body, causing bystanders to woner if you are about to disrobe!

I found this video in my feed today 8/29 after wondering for the last week or two about drafting sleeves of different styles and why the cap is shaped like it is and how you can know it will fit the armhole if you change either one for fit or style. When you showed the tube then cut it then unfolded it to reveal the classic shape of a sleeve, it was an “aha!” moment. I have questions on modifying sleeves for various styles like puffed or full (at the bottom), etc, or how to modify armhole for fit and style then changing the sleeve to fit it. I don’t draw well so I want to use something made then tweak for styles and fit. Thank you for making this- now I need to watch more of your videos!

I really enjoyed this. You touched on something that pattern guide sheets don’t always mention. All sleeves benefit from a gathering thread for easing two things that are shaped differently together. I had sewn several sleeves with no gathering before I learned why it was just not working. I started sewing in the mid to late Seventies, and puff sleeves, or ruffles instead of a sleeve for summer blouses were in style. So later when I moved to placing a fitted sleeve and the pattern did not say run a gathering seam, I didn’t know. Knowing the reason something is done gives an additional tool for figuring out how to do it differently if needed. Very informative lesson!

Last year I struggled searching for a vedio explaning how I draft a pattern for an arm sleeve. And so I gave up the whole sewing thing. I came back to it now and I'm super glad that your video was the first that came up. This vedio is a total gem and I'm pretty sure you've explain for us what could be normally learned through out a whole decade of experience. Thank you sir and hopefully I'll make this right this time. ✨

I have been scouring the library and internet for explanations on the S-curve sleeves and nothing, not a single book nor blog has been as clear about its 3-dimensional purpose or why it differs so greatly from the sleeve opening as your video. I think the visual aids did wonders in helping me understand the purpose of that shape, so thank you so so much! This video was super helpful, you are a life saver 👌

What a terrific explanation on a difficult subject! I'm not very experienced at sewing (yet), but this helped me understand the difficulties I have with wanting to change armholes and sleeves. And you present it in such a fun way. Thank you so much!

Thanks for explaining sleeves so well. I mostly crochet and want to crochet sweaters for my friends and family. But I find many crochet patterns rely on the basic balloon sleeve, ending with a ribbing at the cuff. I, myself, do not care for that and I know if I make a sweater like that for my brother he won't wear it, either. It's fine for a cardigan, maybe. But with a pull-over, it should taper more and fit the shoulder properly. There are several techniques (raglan and fair isle, for instance) that attempt to address this, but I would simply like to make a traditional, tapered sleeve. As I am in the process of making one (from the bottom up) this information will come in handy. Thank you! I just happened to find your channel and this video on my home page (or how ever KZfaq terms the first page you see when you login), probably because I had done a search for 'crochet sweater sleeves.' The "sleeves" part must have stuck. Algorithms, go figure. But I can see it's a great channel for the finer points of sewing clothing and I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!
