I’m going to apologize, but I don’t yet have images for the sleeves, so this is going to have to be just text. \u00a0If you sew, you know what a sleeve cap should look like. \u00a0If you don’t get something that looks like one, you probably got it wrong.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Down the center of the paper, draw a line the entire length of the sleeve you want.<\/li>\n
  2. At the bottom, draw a line the length of the wrist\/palm measurement (or however wide you want the sleeve to be).<\/li>\n
  3. From the top, draw a shallow diagonal line measuring the armhole divided by two on each side.<\/li>\n
  4. Connect the ends of the lines so you have a wide, shallow triangle. That line should be at least as long as your upper arm measurement. \u00a0(Unless you have larger upper arms. I’m a size 22 and lift weights. \u00a0I don’t have to kludge this even if I don’t have dainty arms).<\/li>\n
  5. Draw a line from the bottom corners to the wrists so you have the bottom sleeve shape.<\/li>\n
  6. Smooth out the upper point of the triangle so you have a smooth sleeve cap.<\/li>\n
  7. Add 5\/8″ to 1″ all around the pattern for your seam allowance. \u00a0(I prefer a narrower one, but that’s up to you!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This sleeve will require some skill at easing the sleeve cap. \u00a0I’ll do my best to get a picture up to clarify later.<\/p>\n
