Susan, this is the best and clearest video I have seen on the subject of draping sleeves. The basic sleeve is the golden key to creating other sleeves so it has to be done right. You combine precision and clarity in this video. I have the confidence now to drape my own basic sleeve for a size 4 and 8 misses!
I have had finished a course in pattern making a while ago, been practising at home.. i am learning a lot from you. Think you know already, you teach really well. Thank you so much, your videos are very informative.
@@susaneliascouture Also! Have to mention that ""no one"" had explained the darts as well as you did in your other video.. I was looking everywhere to break that code.
Absolutely love your channel. Last time I bought a bssic blouse pattern and paid close to 20 dollars, on opening the pattern there were all sorts if instructions to test and adjust. At that point I decided I neef to make my own patterns. At 5 ft 8 in with a long torso I have always had problems with store bought clothes. Now in retirement I have time to work on my slopers and patterns. I bought an ebook and was working on a pant sloper as I don't have any comfortable pants, anything I buy pushes my old age muffin up (not attractive look). The slooer made with diections from the book was good but I was having trouble in the upper thigh, as it widened with age. After watching one of your videos about the relationship of the crotch depth to thigh I was able to complete the sloper. Thank you for such great information and demonstrations.
@@susaneliascouture not the dart. I meant the shoulder notch on the sleeve. I’m referring the method in the book, The Art of Fashion Draping by Connie Amaden Crawford. I’m not sure if that method is still shown in design school. I love your clear explanations and videos. I refer many to your channel. Thank you.
I got lost from 4:40 to 5:59 in the video the instructions weren’t clear how you got the 6 1/2 measurements for the biceps and underarm is anyone able to help me fix this problem.
Oh wow! Thanks for removing the mystery of sleeve making. The flat pattern calculation method has always boggled me, but your way of draping the sleeve makes perfect sense. 💕 Btw, does this sleeve also work for knit construction? What I mean is, would you create the muslin sleeve but then can you use it for a jersey knit pattern or T-shirt?
Thank you for your comment. When you make a pattern in woven fabric such as Muslin. You need to take into account negative ease. So no you have to remove done of the pattern to accommodate the stretch. I can’t tell you how much that all depends on the amount of stretch.
@@susaneliascouture Thanks so much! I’m currently working on draping the knit bodice according to your video on that subject. I’m knew to draping. I’ve been doing flat patterns and grading for many years but always found it tedious. I used to make custom wedding dresses. Now that my children are married off, I have my sewing room back. 😁 I’m looking forward to finally creating clothes that fit me correctly with my drastic differences in measurements. eg. very small waist as compared to bust measurements. I so appreciate your wonderful teaching videos! 💕
I’m not sure if that was shown or not on this video but it’s in many other videos of mine. RUclips videos are shorten for the purposes of RUclips. You can always reach out for more info or checkout my playlist of the basics. Good luck
@@susaneliascouture thanks for the reply the part I was looking for was a few seconds past where it should be in the video but i figured it out thanks greatly.
The simplest and clearest lesson on the subject I have seen. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I reaIIy Iiked this video, very heIpful
I'm so glad you got value from this video. Keep watching, thank you:).
Just wondering how the drape cap compared to your first estimate 😊 great lesson thank you!
I remember learning to move the shoulder notch on the sleeve 1/4” towards the back so the sleeve tilts forward. Is that method still used?
You don’t have to move the dart to have the sleeve move forward. It’s all in the application

That is the average for a small sample size. I offer the complete sloper pdf pattern on my website in sizes if that helps eliascouture.com

Where’s the video of your drafting it on paper?
This is a draping method I prefer that over drafting
Buenos días, por favor podría traducir en castellano soy su seguidora pero no entiendo el idioma. Gracias bendiciones
I will see what I can do in future videos. Thank you
Every time I try this it never goes well 😂
If you give me your email I’ll give you a free link to tomorrow meeting RUclips members meeting and you can see and get your questions answered
She didn’t show how to place the French curve on the Muslin
