Thanks so much for this video - it is excellent! I think what did it for me was the last segment when you tried on the well fitting sleeve and suggested how to add in more ease for the upper cap portion ti improve the fit. This is exactly the type of help I needed! Bless you!

You're the first explanation I've found on how to do this. Thank you. You have very good control of a pencil/pen in drafting.

Thank you. I was having a huge problem drafting a sleeve for my pattern I made with Winifred Aldrich pattern book. This helped with the ease in the sleeve cap. Thank you
