Hi Nezhat, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your website! I've been a member for almost 2 years, and find that every time I come here, I learn something new and helpful. I am just wondering if there will be a Sleeve Block Pattern Diagram in the near future. I'm about to start making some shirts for my husband, and this would be very helpful. I've made his shirts from bought patterns in the past, but haven't been very satisfied. He's a big guy, and if I use a pattern that fits his shoulder width, the shirt is too small for him in his chest and waist. If I use one that fits his chest and waist they hang off his shoulders by almost 10 centimeters, and look really sloppy, but at least they're comfortable. I'm really looking forward to making a shirt pattern that will fit his entire body properly. Thank you again for such a wonderful website. Denese

Re: Sleeve Block Pattern Diagram

Dear Denese,

Thank you so much. We will be releasing the Set-in Sleeve Block Pattern diagram this week. We will inform everyone by email as well.

There are a few differences between the sleeve pattern we drafted in the video and  a shirt sleeve. On a shirt the top of the sleeves at the sides are less curvy. The armholes are also less curvy. This will allow for more freedom of movement, especially for men's shirts. You can notice this in store bought shirts. 

I plan to make a shirt sleeve pattern video lesson in the future as well.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
