Efficient Work Flow for Bodice Fitting – Sleeve Fitting

Description

We have finally made it to the Sleeve!   Before you start fitting the sleeve double check to make sure the bodice fits well.   Working the Blue and Pink Zones starting at the top of the pattern pieces, the armhole was adjusted to agree with your body measurements.   Efficient Work Flow for Bodice Fitting – The Sleeve makes efficient work of fitting the sleeve!  Start by walking the sleeve along the armhole to see how much ease the sleeve cap has.   If you need to add ease, start by adjusting the height of the sleeve cap first.   This will make the sleeve cap agree with your body measurement & your adjusted armhole.  From there you can fine-tune the ease in the cap and make an adjustment to shift the ease backward if you have a forward ball of your shoulder.   This PDF companion follows along with the Efficient Work Flow for Sleeve Fitting Video Tutorial on my YT Channel.   If you’re looking for Efficient Work Flow for Bodice Fitting Parts 1 & 2,  click on the links below
