That is such a great demonstration of ease. I have always had trouble inserting sleeves and could never adequately insert the ease without creating a 'pouf' at the top. Thank you so much. x
Love the new shirt! Today’s presentation on sleeve cap ease was thought provoking. I have always had trouble with sleeves because of forward thrust shoulders. Thanks for the different ways to alter the cap/sleeve and the encouragement to keep at it.

I had something very odd happen to me last week. I had established that I needed about 1/2” broad shoulder adjustment. When I tried it on it looked like it was perfect. I put in the sleeves and had these huge bubbles at the end of my shoulders. After sleeping on it over night I decided the problem, had to be the sleeve cap. I unpicked from about notch to notch and “basted” out about 3/4” of cap. The shoulders fit almost perfect. I still don’t know why it was so far off. Maybe it came from the fact that I extended the back wing out to the next size to match the back size I was making.
Sleeves can be really unpredictable...I"m so happy you figured it out! I'm interested, did you walk the sleeve cap along the armhole to check the ease & the cap height compared to your cap height?
@@JSternDesigns I didn’t on this round but had on the round before. When I was sewing it in, there did not seem to be any excessive ease, but I was using a dbp, so that might also account for it. I have never encountered this before, but I’ll be aware from now on. This was also the first time I have done a broad shoulder adjustment, though I’ve been thinking I’ve needed to. I’m also petite with a pretty large bust and waist taken up by a large tummy. I’ve been trying to use my upper bust measurement with either grading or an FBA, but have often noticed that the armscye might be too far in once I attach sleeves. I think starting to do a broad shoulder adjustment might help. But perhaps it would work better to go with a size up and do a narrow shoulder adjustment instead? This has been an ongoing conundrum for me. I guess I just need to experiment.
In order to remove length from the edge of the cap (without lowering the cap height) The area below the edge of the cap also needs to be reduced (because they're connected)... There are a few ways to slash and overlap the pieces to remove ease... Here's another way: ruclips.net/video/-m76yVt6q2I/видео.html Hope this helps!

I'm so happy to hear this helps you! Thanks for fitting along with me

My Pleasure.. and I'm happy that this helps you to keep at it! Thanks for watching
Thank you. This has been very useful. I forgot about walking the patterns, a technique learnt during my pattern making classes.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Off topic question…how do I see your live Tuesday clips? These are all so informative…would love to join live. Tx. Dessie

So, you removed ease by taking fullness out of the upper sleeve with your slashes.
