Hello ladies, I will try to clarify the raglan sleeve further next week prior to starting the set-in sleeve. For homework please draft the top on the hand out only the top one DO NOT TRY THE BOTTOM ONE using your personal measurements. Do the draft in the form of a story board:
step 1) base draft with the sleeve incline only
step 2) base draft with sleeve incline and the markings only
step 3) base draft with steps 1 & 2, now connect the dots and complete the draft
step 4) all of the above and now include the back
Next week I will show you what to trace to come up with the pattern pieces and how to put the sleeve together on paper. Seeing this procedure will clear up a lot of issues. The important thing with the raglan sleeve is not to overthink it, rely more on your eye rather than the measurements shown. The procedure is very fluid and not very technical.
have a great week
