Hello Hiveians

Today I want to show us how cut a sleeve for some people who show interest in sewing.

Cutting out custom sleeves requires a custom made pattern, which can be a confusing process. However, taking measurements and using these to calculate and draw the sleeve pattern will result in a much better fit than using a pre-sized pattern. If you want to cut out your own sleeve pieces for a sewing project, then learn how to create your own sleeve pattern and then use the pattern to cut out your sleeve pieces.
STEP 1
Taking sleeve Measurements
Measure from your shoulder to your wrist. Use a measuring tape to find the distance from the tip of your shoulder to your wrist. Bend your elbow slightly as you measures.

STEP2
Identify the distance from your shoulder to your elbow. Next, measure the distance from the tip of your shoulder to the tip of your elbow. Bend your elbow slightly to.

STEP 3
Find the circumference of your bicep, elbow, and wrist. The circumference is the area around a part of your body. Use your measuring tape to measure your bicep, elbow, and wrist. Record each of these measurements and then add to them to ensure that your sleeves will have enough fabric for seam allowance and give. You can add more or less to the measurements to ensure the desired fit.

STEP 4
Calculate your armhole depth measurements. Finding the armhole depth measurement requires your bodice pattern. The armhole is the area where your sleeve will connect with your bodice.
