Re: Costumes

Hi Vani,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am looking for some pattern for fancy dress costumes(fairies etc), I am not an expert in sewing but I have sewed some skirts etc for my daughter. So i am unable to draft a pattern myself. Thanks for your help.

How to Cut Puffed Sleeves?

Re: How to cut puff sleeve

Hi Jeeja please see Vani's blog I have explained the method of drafting puff sleeves

 

Re: How to cut puff sleeve

hi vani,

sorry to interrupt. I feel the draft that u've given is that for a pleated sleeve. In the so called puff sleeve the width is more and hence the formula chest /12 will be too narrow.

I follow a totally different formula for puff sleeve. Pls check and let's wait if somebody else has anything to comment on this. Maybe, i could be wrong too.

I can share the draft in 2 - 3 days time. And, as always i had always enjoyed y'r blog. Extremely to the finest details - if i sh'd comment!

hi vani,

i'm not a tech savvy girl. i need my DH's help in scanning - i always forget the procedure to run a scan. My formula, let me check may be diffferent. i checked y'lr blog . y'r tutorial looks like almost perfect - i've read / seen such drafts too. so, by tuesday, i'll upload the draft which i use.

thanks for y'r prompt response.

 

re: How to Cut Puffed Sleeves?

vani,

the formula i use is : chest / 4+1". The new additions to this topic in y'r blog is excellent. simply superb! God be with u and help u in y'r endeavours. U are a precious gem to our forum.
