Instead of pattern paper I've been using wrapping paper with a inch grid on back. It makes things so much easier and I have a use for the ugly wrapping papers I get from multipacks. It's a win-win in my book.
Finally somebody who really knows how to explain. I thought I were stupid, turns out all I needed was a good explanation and an honest demonstration like yours.
I love your channel, but mostly the decent and kind you.
Thank you for your time and effort and everything you put into your channel.
Best personal regards from Cairo, Egypt. 😍
This is a great tutorial! I am new to sewing and want to start drafting my own patterns. This is the first tutorial that I’ve watched.:.and I’ve watched a ton...that explains the why. I have to know why I’m doing things and this was perfect. I can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials!
really appreciate this detailed instruction and the fact that you did this first time and shared in detailed step by step instructions. thank you !!
you are really perticular about measurements , drafting and everything i just love you...thank you so much for making videos & sharing your knowledge !!!
Hello Kim, can you show us how to draw a sleeve using a (bodice) armhole as the foundation for the sleeve pattern?
It is always practical to visit various pattern-making CZcams sites.
This was pretty easy to follow; however, you didn’t add any for easing to the bicep or elbow. I’m concerned that this sleeve will be too tight.
Hey Kim! I recently took on sewing classes, only had 2 so far, and this is the most comprehensible video I've seen- and english is not even my mother tongue! thank you! xxx
Pattern making is a chaos in the mind of a beginner, but creative and challenging. I wish you all the best out of it. Thank you Kim for sharing with us valuable clear steps. I think not just me appreciate your materials. So, keep up with the good work!
Thank you so much for your clear and easy instructions on how to draft a sleeve pattern. I liked that you explained step by step what to do and had the instructions inserted on the screen. I was able to write down your instructions into 18 steps. Please continue to post good instructional videos like this.😊
I just wanna say that it makes me feel so much more confident that I can do this too knowing that the sleeve pattern you created was your very first one. Being a novice at sewing I’m searching so many video XD thank you so much for uploading this!!
Dear Kim, Thank you so much for explaining These drawing and sewing techniques. I am a beginner and didn't know where to start.
You helped me a great deal. Your explaination is so good and clear. Thank you for your time and effort. Anna
Pricillia thank you. You explain so simply and it's easy to understand. All my blocks are your tutorials. You're the best!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's my first time making a top and I have been struggling with the sleeves so this really helped me, I hope you have a wonderful day 😊
Hello Priscilla. Firstly, thank you for this video. Sleeves have always been a mystery to me. You have given a masterclass in laying a pattern for sleeves. I am grateful.
Secondly, thank you for not rambling. I appreciate that you get straight to the video. I do not want or need chit chat. I just want to learn so I am very glad to see that this is what you do so well.
Thirdly, thank you for using regular tools that most people will have, with the exception of the pattern maker. I have my own and it is the most used tool in my dress making tool box.
And finally, thank you for sharing your skills with us. For me you are one of the best teachers on CZcams.
Have a good evening 💐😁👍
I jmdrafted my sleeve while watching and took notes. I love this video and about to watch other drafts. I'm new to clthes but not quilting and about to make a lot of clothes.Thanks a bunch
Thank you so much for this thorough and precise tutorial, I have been looking for one that isn't some version of "just wing it lol" and yours made things way clearer!
You made it believably simple. I am just beginning to informally study pattern making for my own sewing. I am so glad I found you and your site! Thanks for being her for us dummy wannabees!
your tutorials are ON POINT! not a lot of technical thingy like others. i enjoy your videos, more please!!!!
Thank you for such a detailed explanation! Super precise and straight to the point! Makes it easy to understand for someone who really knows nothing about creating patterns! I look forward to trying my own! thank you again!
this is probably the best video on youtube on how to make a sleeve pattern! thanks so much I really needed these kind of detailed information!!! will definitely refer this vid to all my sewing friends!! love it
Omg! Thank you Kim! I'm a teen learning how to sew and I just subscribed to your channel! This is amazing. I was about to give up on CZcams tutorial videos and enroll to an actual course online or at a school. But I found your channel! You just saved me some quids!
I personally want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. This video helped me out so much. I hope you make it big real soon!
Such amazing beautiful black teacher you are......Your video's are so easy to follow. Just amazing!
AMAZING!!! I’ve been struggling and this makes SO MUCH SENSE. You’re the best 🤍
Wow! So easy! I saw many videos on CZcams but most left me confused. Thank you for the tutorial! Regards from Greece 🇬🇷
You are magical! I honestly thought I would mess up or something because I've never done this in my life. I finally didn't mess up on something for once. Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much for this tutorial... same here, I always been hesitant to make one for myself but will definitely push myself and make one and see how it comes out. You were clear and very detailed on your tutorial. Kuddos and good job!
You are such an easy to follow and efficient teacher. Thank you so much for this video!
Very helpful tutorial! I am currently working on a sleeve block for a kameez. I have traced our your guidelines and it’s looking like a sleeve! I’m very excited. I just need to see how close these lines match up to the bodice I drafted and see what changes I need to make. I was so intimidated on making a sleeve and you made it so easy! Thank you!
I don't even know why I go to any other videos but yours! You're precise and thorough. Thank you for your knowledge
Thank you! This was easy to follow, I have created my own pattern with my own measurements straight away. It is surprising that some of it is in inches and some in cm but it didn’t not cause any problems. Your video is clear and easy to recreate- thank you very much. 👍
THANK YOU! This is the best I have seen. Great explanation.
Thank you so much for these tutorials. They really helped me to understand sewing better!
I've been looking for a sleeve tutorial and by far this is the best!! Thank you
Oh my gosh..thank you so much for this. I’ve been trying to figure out my sleeves for WEEKS.
Yippee I finally got it right I had to watch your basic bodice pattern video so many times than I came here 😄😍😍😍😄😄! Now I can make this gorgeous long sleeve dress ! Thank you for all of your help 😊😊😊😊
i've seen a lot of posts on here that have also helped me to understand the potential issues i may run into relative to this video regarding ease, seam allowance, etc. BUT, by far, this was the most clear-cut and defined tutorial for individuals like me looking for a general understanding on how to not only draft a basic sleeve pattern, but how to use my existing knowledge and "play" with the pattern to perfect my technique. i've only really attempted a "formal" sleeve block pattern once and it took so long that I still hv the bodice piece waiting to be finished off in my sewing room to this day! with this tutorial, i can really try and master drafting a block pattern first, and then transferring to muslin and work from there to use on my bodice. i've learned many a sewing technique by trial and error and it has been really the only way i'm able to retain anything anyway. but, complicated or hard to follow tutorials just make it more aggravating.
MANY THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO TUTORIAL! can't wait to try it out :)
Clear explanation. There are several pattern tutorials that I have watched already but this one's the best.
This us the best sleeve tutorial ever! Thanks sooo much. after watching you I feel very confident in making my own sleeves.
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been searching all over for something that shows how to make a sleeve completely from scratch. Your video was perfect
What a wonderful video. You explained everything concisely and made it easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! 😃👍🏽
The best "how to sleeve block" video I ever saw ! Thank you ,and you are so cute by the way
You explain so well!! I can't wait to get home and start drafting!!
Best sleeve video ever for a beginner like me. Clear, simple and well explained. Thank you! :D
Holy moly, this is a fantastic video! You didn't waste a second of time in your explanations and the visuals are so clear, I don't know how to thank you enough 😭
Kim Dave you are wonderful, thank you so much! These words are not enough to express how much I appreciate you ❤️❤️
This tutorial was very through and I feel like I might actually be able to make a Sleeve now lol
I'm a beginner but this was so helpful! I subscribed and cant wait to see what other videos you have! Thank you so much!
A brilliant tutorial. Thank you. I'm still trying to master a complete block pattern. At least I have a sleeve now!
Hi greetings from🇹🇹. I just met you and I am so happy that I have. I started sewing a few months ago but I will only make loose and sleeveless tops and dresses cause I didn't know how to created patterns and I have viewed many other CZcams tutorials on how to BUT I NEVER GOT IT! Until now so thank you so much I also just reviewed your bodice pattern so Am gonna buy me some paper and start making patterns. Thanks to you my clothes will now have sleeves and fit properly....Thanks
Thanks a lot. For the first time I was able to do my own sleeve block. Great teacher. I followed every step. 👨🎓👨🎓👨🎓
Wow this makes life much easier, your illustration is super easy to follow, thanks

I'm glad I found your videos!!! I planning on learning how to sew and your videos are making me understand the basis so far. I hope that you continue on making these kind of tutorials for they are really helpful specially for beginners like me. :)

Fantastic- you’re a life saver! Thank you so much for you clear directions- this excellent tutorial was just just what I was looking for!
You are one of the best CZcamsrs. Seriously, your tutorials are easy to understand and you always give necessary backgroundknowledge and drop useful tips at the right time. You're very skilled, thank you for your videos.
this is the best straight sleeve drafting tutorial i have seen. Thank you very much
SIS!!! Where have you been my all my life please????? I just found your channel and I am binge watching...I'm so excited!! I'm going to learn so much! THANK YOU
😂 I’m here to help dear. Hope you find my videos useful 😉 Also feel free ask questions or leave suggestions here 💗
Kim Dave please can you do a bodice pattern tutorial? Or do you have one already? Thank you soo much
I don’t have one yet but I will add your request to my list of possible future video ideas 😃 Thanks for asking 😘
Thank you so much. Your block making is super. I did a blouse from block given by you. It came out so well. Thank You.
I am sure you are from Freetown Sierraleone, I lived 13 years there i learnt so much from them. You sound like them . I love Sierra Leone ,both of my children born there ! I am proud of it. You have explained so clearly. Thank you sis.
Thank you so much Kim Dave for sharing your expertise! Very helpful for me to make a soft cotton print t-shirt.
Thanks for your patient teaching. I was able to create my sleeve block by following you.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE LAST YEARR!!! Love the crochet jacket, it's in my favourite colour😊
Thanks for being patient with me and waiting since last year 😘😘😘 Appreciate your love & support 💗
Thank you very much. I am new to your channel. I have an ugly tattoo I regret getting 18 yrs ago on my left shoulder & I've been wanting to learn how to make sleeves just down to my elbow to add to sundress patterns to cover it. I so appreciate you. I'm am an average sewer but I believe I can maybe pull this off. I hope it will work with patterns that don't have sleeves? I did watch your dress tutorial but I am unsure if I can make a dress block. I'd love to make my own clothes. I'm not the greatest in math. Do you have a tutorial that explains all those tools you are using...the measuring tools? Perhaps I can buy those, pattern paper & muslin & try to create dress block w/sleeves. I love wrap around skirts too. And finally attempt the mermaid style skirt tutorial you have. You've given me HOPE. I desperately want to make my own clothes for sake of modesty & bright colored original clothes. Thanks so much. If you can let me know names of measuring tools & where to purchase I'd be grateful. God bless you for sharing your knowledge! 😁🐦
I tried to do things on my own and struggled for 2 days. I found your videos and had it done in a few hours! thank you!
your videos have helped me so much, thank you! stay blessed !!
I just started self thougt sewing, your video are really helping me !
This has been so helpful. I did not know where to start on creating a sleeve pattern.
You have just conquered my years of running away from sewing with this video, I wish I met you a long long time ago. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial.
Hey there, since yours is the latest comment i found here, can you explain to me the logic behind the "16cm line" which she later changed to "13cm line" to adjust the curve. I would like to know that in case i need to adjust that line according to my body. Thanks in advance!!
Thank you Kim. You've explained everything so beautifully❤️
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. They have helped me so much as a beginner to sewing. I wanted to request a video on how to actually sew a bodice with sleeves for a dress... I have made the bodice pattern and sleeves but I am very nervous on putting them together. Thank you once again.
Thank you for this, I watched 3 other videos, and this was the only one I fully understood.
I really appreciate your watching it. Thank you very much. This is refreshing
i love your tutorials so much! they're so helpful! thank you!
Thank you. Your tutorials are clear and comprehensive.
THANKYOU!! your video was so helpful and I love your energy x
the easiest sleeve pattern i have seen so far 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you from 🇿🇦
Thanks for having your supply recommendations in the bio! Most definitely will use what you recommend
You are the very good pattern maker! Great job! Love you ..
I absolutely love your channel, it's so so helpful
easy to understand. there is a lot of different ways to drafting sleeve pattern. tq so much for the tutorial.
I am learning so much from your videos. Thanks so much for making them for us.
Thku for the simple guide lines🙏 I dont have any experience pattern making and this helps me so much. Thku from New Zealand👋
This is the first sleeve tutorial that I understood. Thank you so much. New subbie here.
Thankyou for your encouraging reply I am determined to try draught the trouser Pattern
HI!! First of all, THANK YOU for making so many great videos. Your jumpsuit video actually inspired me to make my first ever pattern from scratch. The finished product turned out great and now I’m all about making my own patterns. :-). I have two questions for your sleeve video: 1) When you take your measurements (arm length, distance to bicep etc.) is your arm parallel or perpendicular to the ground? 2) Have you found that you make adjustments to ensure that you can lift your arm all the way up? Thank you! I’m so excited to start putting sleeves on everything!!
for sure your tutorials have being helping me a lot... God bless you
I'm hoping to use this in a western shirt I'm making and this was so simple I love it! Thank you so much💛
Bravo, excellent tutorial, this is simple and clear. I have subscribed, you do a fabulous job explaining patternmaking
Thank u..
U really make the patterns too easy to understand then to do. Plz, make to us how to manipulate darts in dresses. I watched many videos of it but i do believe if u do it, it will be easy as the sleeve pattern!
You were at 199k when I hit subscribe. Yay for being # 200k :-) Thanks for this. You are one of the few folks showing how to make things without tracing old clothes. Truly appreciated!
This is the first time i've understood the process, thank you! You are the a life saver!
I need your rulers in my life 🖤
Thank you for the tutorial. I'll try crafting my sleeves now 😺
This is really good. Thanks so much cos your explanation is straightforward .God bless you
Sew excited to try all that I am learning from your videos!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, I could never cut a perfect sleeve, so this was very helpful.
This is the best sleeve pattern drafting I have ever seen. Thanks a lot. Please can you do T-shirts pattern drafting I seriously need it. I just want to make myself a shirt but I haven't seen an easy and understandable tutorial like yours. Please consider making a male t-shirt pattern drafting. Thanks in anticipation.
very helpful!!!! i am more than confident that THIS ONE OF THE BEST tutorials I've seen!! Thank you!!!
I LOVE IT!!! I MADE MY OWN SLEEVE! SERIOUSLY, I’M THE HAPPIEST HUMAN BEING IN THE PLANET RIGHT NOW. Thank you so much Kim Dave!😘😘
🎉🎉🎉 that’s awesome J K 💃🏿 Congratulations on making your own custom sleeve. Hope you have fun creating cool designs with it
OMG SAME HERE THIS VIDEO IS LITTRALLY SOOOOO HELPFUL 😭😭
Pls ma my own sleeve doesn't complete my armhole circumference... Pls teach me how to cut the sleeve with the armhole circumference
@@godwinehidiamen9904 If the sleeve head is too big for the armhole then you can either gather it between the notches before sewing it on (gives a cute puff sleeve effect), or you can shorten the vertical line that connects the shoulder to the bicep.
If your sleeve head is too short for the armhole, then you can either make the sleeve head taller or increase the width of the bicep measurement to account for the difference. I hope that helps!
