Sleeeeves!

I began by looking at some of my research on how to create the correct sleeve shape and came accross this pattern from the Janet Arnold books:

From this I cut s shape similar free hand on a scrap of calico to see if it would have the correct effect. With a bit of gathering around the sleeve head and then tapering the side seam so that it is narrower at the bottom, this shape was created:

I am happy with this shape, however I will add an extra layer of calico underneathe to pad out the sleeve head to make the shape more exaggerated.

From here I used the sleeve pattern from my first toille as a basic shape for the sleeve head. I then made sure that the sleeve length was correct by checking my measurement sheet. I then cut this out of calco with an extra top half of the sleeve to pad out the sleeve head. I then gathered the head, stiched the side seam and put in on the mannequin:

So far so good!!

I then took this sleeve apart to document the pattern onto some paper then used this as a pattern piece for the other sleeve. I then put them both together and pinned them onto the mannequin.

I will go back to these if I feel that the shape is incorrect but for now they seem to be fine!
