hi everyone welcome back to my channel today
i am going to show you how i made this three part sleeve let's get to it
i want the total length of my sleeve to be about 24 inches which is from my shoulder to my wrist
and then i want this first part to be about 11 inches for the bottom part i want it to be about
10 inches and then this part should be 3 inches so if i add all these i'm going to get 24 inches
now that i have an idea of what i want and the length that i want let's cut the sleeve
this is the dress i am making and i would like to have the sleeve to so the first thing that
you have to do is to measure the armhole i have about 22.5 inches now i'm going to put this aside
so for this sleeve alone you're going to need about one yard of fabric now because i'm cutting
two sleeves i'm going to fold my fabric into four the first thing is to draw a baseline
from the baseline you measure about four inches down
get the length of the sleeve i want this first part to be 11 inches i'll measure 11 inches
now remember what i measured around the armhole was 22.5 inches divide that by
two that is 11.25 now i am going to draw a curve that is going to give me 11.25
first you come in by about two inches and then you draw your curve
measure the curve i have 11.25 just here now i am going to add an extra one inch for seam allowance
measure around the arm that is where the sleeve will stop mine is about twelve twelve divided by
two that is six so because it's a free sleeve it is not fitted i'm going to have extra 1.5 for ease
and then one inch for seam allowance then i'm going to curve it like this
this is the first part of the sleeve to cut it out i'm going to cut 0.5 inch below what
i have here that 0.5 which is going to be a joining allowance for the balloon part
now measure what you have here
ignore the seam allowance i have 7.5 so that is going to guide me to cut the balloon sleeve part
so for one sleeve i need 15 inches
all right but because i'm going to be gathering it i will multiply 15 inches by 1.5 that will give me
22.5 plus 1 inch for seam allowance that is 23.5 so i'm going to cut 23.5
this is exactly 23.5 inches
the length i want is 10 inches but you know i'm going to use 0.5 inch to join it to this
and i'm going to use 0.5 inch to join it to the cuff part
right that will be 11 inches in total so i'll measure 11 inches down
my fabric is on fold so that means i'm cutting two at the same time
so i'm going to gather this to get the balloon
to cut the cuff measure where the balloon sleeve will end remember my balance is going
to end at 21 inches measure 21 inches down here is my 21 inches measure here
i have 8 inches but my curve is not going to have a fastener it's not going to have a button
or a zipper if i measure eight inches it won't be able to pass through this part of my hand
so like i said in the sleeve tutorial when you want anything that has a cuff this is where
you should measure i have nine inches as against eight inches that i measured here now to cut the
curve fold your extra fabric into four like this then remember that what i measured on my arm was
nine inches add one inch for ease and sewing allowance that is ten inches divide that by two
that is five so after folding the fabric into four i must have five inches just like this
five inches okay so now the height of the sleeve that i want is
three inches i'm going to use 0.5 inch to join it to the balloon sleeve that would be 3.5
now i'm at 3.5 and then i'll fold it into two cut it out like this
this is the cuff part this is the balloon part i'm going to gather it
and then this is the top of the sleeve
the first thing i'm going to do is to sew all the seam allowances i'm going to sew here one
inch do the same thing here on this one as well also one inch one inch remember we left one inch
while drafting so for this part i left half and inch while drafting so i'm going to sew it half an
inch half an inch and then we're going to come back okay guys i have sewn the sides
and i've overlocked it i'm just going to put one of the sleeves aside and we'll work on one
now what i have is 7.5 inches which is 15. remember it is on fold now i'm going
to gather this top part into 15 inches so to gather it what you're going to do is to run
a basting stitch the longest stitch on your machine and then pull the thread and gather it
at the bottom part as well you're going to run a basting stitch
okay so i'm going to gather this bottom part to 9 because we'll be joining this bottom part to here
all right guys so i've gathere this one the balloon part now to join it we're going to join
this to this first it's not in any particular order but let's join it that way turn this to
the right side and then you flip it over and put it inside you see this is still on the wrong side
so you're going to align the seams
instead of gathering you can also pleat some people prefer to pleat pin it down
after pinning you sew round with a 0.5 inch seam allowance all right which is the joining allowance
now for this bottom part fold it into two like this flip it over and put it
inside this seam allowance here must be where the seam allowance is pin it down
okay so i'll sew the top 0.5 inch and then i'll sew the bottom 0.5 inch i'm going to do
the same thing for this sleeve so guys i have sewn it now let's bring it out
this is what the wrong side looks like if you turn it to the right side
this is what it looks like now i am going to join it to the dress
so to join into the dress you are going to put this inside put it inside the dress
open it up and then you start to match the sleeve right side facing
okay so i'm going to sew around with a 0.5 inch seam allowance
so guys after sewing it this is what the sleeve looks like
it gives the dress a lift and it makes it more beautiful
