In this lesson, I taught how to attach and fit a sleeve sloper to the bodice. I demonstrated the process of matching seams, easing the sleeve cap, and pinning it in place. The focus was on achieving a clean fit without excessive ease at the top of the sleeve.

Lesson Steps:

• Attach the bottom side seam of the sleeve, matching notches and pinning from the inside
• Match the sleeve’s shoulder line to the bodice’s shoulder seam
• Ease the sleeve cap area using a basting stitch if needed
• Divide and spread the ease evenly around the armhole
• Pin the sleeve to the bodice, adjusting as necessary
• Check the fit, ensuring a clean look with minimal ease at the top
• Make any final adjustments, such as adding length to the wrist if needed
• Transform the fitted sleeve into a sloper pattern
