Fitted sleeve pattern drawing
Use a sheet of paper sizes Bicep circ. measurement + 5 cm wight and about 65 cm length. Start at the left side of the sheet. Start at the center of the sheet. Step down 2 cm from the top edge of the sheet put point O.
From point A draw down a vertical line.
- OH = 61 cm (Sleeve length).
- OO1 = 3/4 Armhole depth = 20 / 4 х 3 = 15 cm.
- O2O3 = perpendicular to OH.
- O1O2 = O1O3 = 1/2 Bicep circ. + 1 cm (ease allowance, can be change according to fabrics).
- Connect points O-O2, O-O3.
- O2O4 = 2/5 OO2. O3O5 = 2/5 OO3.
- Draw perpendiculars from the centers of segments: O2O4 = 0,5 cm; O4O = 2 cm; OO5 = 1,5 cm; O5O3 = 0,5 cm.
- With the curve draw the sleeve cap, joining points O2-0,5-O4-2-O-1,5-O5-0,5-O3.

- H1H2 = perpendicular to OH.
- HH1 = HH2 = 1/2 Wrist circ. + 2 cm (ease allowance, can be change according to fabrics).
- Connect points O2-H1, O3-H2.
- O2H3 = H3H1. O3H4 = H3H2. Draw perpendiculars = 1 cm length from points H3 and H4.
- Draw the sleeve seams, joining points O2-1-H1 and O3-1-H2.
Copy sleeve pattern, mark 2 notches (notch 1 is in the centre point upon the cap sleeve, notch 2 – with a distance 5 cm from the point O3). The sleeve, back and front blocks cut with 1,5 cm seams allowances and 4 cm for hem allowance.
