@The Crafty Workshops Hi, again! So glad you mentioned that in Canada they are called blocks. This is very helpful. At this time I do not have a video of flat patterning with measurements. I will certainly give some thought to making one in the not too distant future. When I make clothing for people I make them a sloper as it is such an easy way to capture their shape and measurements are more of a challenge - at least to me. However! I will give it some thought and do one for you as soon as I have some other content completed. Thank you for writing!
I am so impressed with your skills! Thank you for going through the sleeve sloper process. I haven't found another source that describes this process so well.
Just made up a sleeve with this method. I have a forward shoulder and with this technique it automatically makes that curve instead of having to make a change later. Thank you!
Hello, Skirtedgalleons! SO glad this was helpful to you. I am not clear on what you mean by "forward shoulder". Do you mean your back is somewhat rounded so the shoulder is forward of the body? I learned this method from a professional pattern maker many years ago and I think it's the best sleeve method I have ever seen. It has NEVER failed me and I am happy it has not failed you, either! Thanks for letting me know!
@@SewWithSally Yes, my shoulder is rotated forward and I have a rounded back. Usually with sleeve drafting the sleeve comes out with the shoulder point up and down and I need to adjust it. Your method gave the correct hang of the sleeve. I'm fine tuning it now for a sloper and then I can't wait to make some blouses. Thanks again!
@@skirtedgalleons Thank you for clariflying and I am SO happy this method is good for you! Surely sewing for yourself will be much more fun knowing the outcome will be better. Thanks!
Hi, again! This way of drafting a sleeve is not only easy, it has NEVER failed me! It always works. Be sure to carefully measure the armhole measurements it is being made for, both front and back. Best wishes for happy sewing!
Dear Eddieengelbrecht7550, This is not good news! I am sorry to hear this did not work for you. I have used this method for decades and it has NEVER let me down. Also, if you look at the comments below, you will find a lot of happy people. I wish I could see how you are doing this and also the shape of the sloper you are using. In any case, perhaps try checking all numbers again. If the front and back armhole measurements are a lot different, try to find a balance by adding the two together, then add 1/4" to the back measurement and take 1/4" away from the front measurement, draft the sleeve, cut it in muslin and test it again. If the angle of the drape is not good, then try rotating it a bit to see if that helps. Best wishes! Happy Sewing!

Gotta try this. I’ve had many unsuccessful attempts!

Thanks. How do I sew in the ease to the bodice?
Hi, Jessica, Did you mean "how do I SEW in the ease to the bodice? Hum,... A good video to make! I will do this soon. Thank you!
Bicep line is the same as cap height? Thanks.
Hello, Phyllis, The top of the sleeve to the bicep line is the cap height, so, yes, is the answer to your question. Happy Sewing!
It does not work, I have tried my wife mesuring with your drawing, and it does not work, look totally crooked
