Its really helpful to beginners how to make reglan sleev

[dianneunderwood]

Hi JIn - what a good video and so easy to follow! I have a question about drawing the lines from the necklines to establish the raglan style. Should the front and back start about the same distance from the high neck point. For example if I did the back 1" from that point on the neckline, should I use that same amount for the front neckline? Or would it create problems in how hte sleeve fits if they are different to each other. Thank you.

[lalaasong]

Hello! thank you for this very clear tutorial. What is the software that you are using to make the pattern please?

[anjalinepriyaa]

Hi, mam
It very usefull for me. Thanks 😊

[afikwawukume]

Best and easiest ranglan sleeve drafting seen so far. Impressive. Gonna try it

[mobiles]

i have question dear.
please tell me why we different armhole curve height ?

ii know what is front across and back across, but dont understand why in this pattern or in patterns we have to make different angle for shoulder ... so when you put your front piece on back piece, with arm pit point. there is difference of height in both ?

hope i explain my question

[JQ-Frances]

Although your tutorial is easy to understand, it seems like your theory only works on computer, not in reality!
Followed your instructions and tried to draft the pattern twice, made a top once. But all just failed to work. Resulting in twisted sleeves! As the sleeves seams just don't align at all! Makes no sense. When you try to get them aligned, you end up with a twisted funny sleeve.

[xanderp]

Thank you. I'm trying to make a master pattern for my blouses and dresses as my shoulder is wide and not sloping much and I find raglan sleeves kinder to my kind of shoulders

[darkenton]

This is the best video for a raglan sleeve pattern drafting! Excellent work!

[mariafabbro]

Fabulous tutorial for complete beginners, really easy to follow and understand for a complete beginner. Thank you 😊

[aquamarinegem]

Hey Jin! Thank you so much! I have a little question. When I draft my sleeve that way I end up with two different underarm seam lengths most of the time :( Maybe there's something I'm missing? Thank you!

[suxiumei]

Hello Jin, i have question.
My front sleeve side seam and back sleeve side seam length are not same. How to solve this problem?

[annearchy]

I just drafted this sleeve on paper and here are some of my tips with that:

After the shoulder seam is corrected, stick both bodice halves together at the shoulder and extend the shoulder line for the grain line. Bonus tip, this point is ideal to draw your desired neckline in case you're sewing a blouse or dress.

After that, stick some paper underneath the spread out armhole and draw the sleeve. Make sure to overlap the paper underneath well at the armhole meeting point and to use enough tape. This is important and DON'T forget the notch lines. I really noticed why they were inportant when I tried to line it up with the bodice.

Here comes a neat trick. You can cut out the sleeve as is and carefully unstick the diamond shape from the paper underneath. Use that to stick to the missing area at the bodice and you're done 😊😊

Thank you again. I have used your method and made my second raglan sleeve knitted shirt today. The angle of my front shoulder line is 1.8cm lower than my back shoulder line, but my back armhole is only 1cm longer than my front armhole. I don't want my front armhole length is bigger than my back armhole. In stead of what instruction said in this video to move up the front shoulder angle to meet the back shoulder's angle (video 2:07), I lower my back shoulder line angle 0.9cm and move up my front 0.9cm to meet. It works well, too.
