In this lesson, I taught how to draft a basic sleeve sloper pattern using measurements. I demonstrated the process step-by-step, dividing the sleeve into sections and shaping the armhole curve.

Lesson Steps:

• Draw the sleeve length and mark bicep, elbow, and wrist lines
• Divide the bicep circumference into front and back sections
• Connect points to form the basic sleeve shape
• Divide front and back into three equal sections
• Shape the armhole curve by raising specific sections
• Mark underarm points for front and back
• Cut out the pattern pieces, adding seam allowances
• Transfer pattern onto muslin fabric
• Sew side seams of the muslin sleeve
• Prepare a basic bodice sloper to attach the sleeve for fitting

I explained that this drafting method works best for me, but also showed an alternative draping approach if needed. The key is to establish a well-fitting sloper before experimenting with sleeve styles.
