    Thank you Arja, glad you found it useful 🙂

    Your doubt: The two measurement calculations for upper arm round result different hangs on the arms and the impact on the look is explained within the brackets 🙂 That is, the more wide you take the upper arm round, the more away the sleeve bottom hem from the arm. Do you know the cap sleeves? Just like that.

    I hope I have made myself clear!

    TC! Keep smiling! Visit again!

    Hi Paru,
    Very sorry for replying you so late 😦 Could you please be more clear? As far as I know, there is only one way to attach sleeves… Could you please tell me what are the two methods you are talking about?

    Hope to learn something from you 🙂 Awaiting your reply!

    Sorry for replying late due to health issues for few mths. I have learnt 2 methods 1) first stitch sleeve to bodice and then do fitting from both the sides.2) first do fitting from both the sides of bodice,then stitch sleeve to bodice.Which 1 do you follow?

    Hi Paru,

    Sorry about your health issues. I hope you are doing good now…

    So, you were asking about the sequence of attaching sleeves in blouse sewing! I join the sleeves first and then do the side seams (fitting, as you said). This method allows me to easily do any future alterations needed than in the second sequence you have mentioned. Because, our armhole dimension changes only when we put on or lose too much weight. But, the side seam may need to be altered with slightest weight changes. Which one do you follow?

    Yes, I am planning for a post on attaching sleeves to bodice. Expect a post soon.

    Hi, thanks for the kind words 🙂
    Do the sleeves fit your arms? If yes, then you may give darts at the armholes (front and back, each of 1/2 inch width) like that you give in saree blouse. If sleeves don’t fit your arms, then you can give a 1 inch patch panel (designed or plain) at the sleeve centre (I mean, where it divides into front and back parts).
    I hope these tips work out. Please let me know the result 🙂
    TC! Keep smiling 🙂
