Armholes and sleeves, sleeves and armholes. One of the trickiest parts of our garments to get right, the opposing circles need not only to fit together smoothly, they must to allow our arms to move! Learn how to evaluate your pattern, make changes that accommodate your figure and finally, how to install a sleeve that really fits and flatters. Start with a paper pattern of your choice and manipulate it under Kathy’s direction. You’ll find the ease you need, adjust it for the fabric you’re using and install your sleeve without puckers. It’ll be so easy! With Kathy's guidance, you will cut pattern pieces and set in sleeves that fit YOU and the fabric you are using from now on.
