The Epaulet Sleeve The epaulet sleeve is a wonderful sleeve that offers lots of design possibilities. The center shoulder seam is eliminated and the sleeve and the shoulder portion of the jacket, dress or blouse become one pattern. In the above picture you see the front of the sleeve. In this picture you see the back of the sleeve. (And an ink smudge, sorry about that) The above picture shows how the sleeve now extends into the shoulder. To draft this sleeve, begin by trimming the seam allowances away from your pattern. It could get a little confusing if you leave the seam allowances on the pattern. Match the shoulder seams as you see above. Extend the shoulder seam. Match the center grain line of your sleeve to the extended line from the shoulder. The top of the sleeve should just touch the seam line at the shoulder as you see above. Do not overlap the two as it will cause the shoulder to cave in and be a little tight against the shoulder. Now draw in the lines of the epaulet extension. At the armseye, the lines should be no more than 1 1/2" away from the original shoulder line. The lines will look a little nicer is you taper them a bit toward the neckline as you see above. If your sleeve does not meet exactly with the bodice, redraw the curved line as you see above. Before you start to cut the pattern pieces apart, be sure to add notches as you see above. Cut the front and back bodice away from the sleeve. Find the midpoint of the shoulder. Measure down 1/8" at the midpoint and draw in a slightly curved line. This will allow the shoulder to lay a little nicer. The final pattern for the sleeve. Be sure to add seam allowance!!! As you can see in this picture, the corner should be very crisp. Be sure to mark the corner and clip the corner. Once you know how to do some of the drafting, sleeve variations are really quite easy and they make your outfits really pop. I hope that you are enjoying Sleeves On Saturdays. I am, except, I'll confess, this was not the sleeve that I wanted to show you today. I am working on a piece that I would like to send in for a contest. ARGH!!!!!!! The sleeve has pleats that radiate from the underarm seam and I'm just not quite getting it. I will and when I do, I'll share it with you. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Rhonda

I made this coat.....oh my goodness.....26 years ago! It's still a favorite and I still wear it. Believe it or not, I won a number of awards for the coat, so it has some sentimental value to me and so I keep it. What I will show you today is how the sleeve is drafted. It's really quite easy. My sleeve has quite a bit of padding in the sleeve head. The sleeve works well in a coat or a jacket, but will also work well in a softer fabric for a blouse. Begin with your sleeve pattern. For the illustration I am using a straight sleeve. If you decide to draft the sleeve, use the sleeve pattern that corresponds to your pattern. Draw a horizontal line from one side to the other at the arms eye. The vertical lines are 1" on either side of the center of the sleeve. Draw in the angled lines as you see in the above picture. They should be equally spaced. Cut down the vertical center lines and over to the edge of the sleeve being careful to not cut all the way through. Equally spread each section. Use tape to hold in place. As you see in the above picture, you will not follow the exact lines of the original sleeve. Beginning at the top, draw in a curved line that will finish at the horizontal line. The final pattern. Be sure to add seam allowance. You will sew in your gathering stitches and then sew the seam together as if it were a dart. In the weeks to come, I will do some variations on this sleeve. Good luck. Hope you're having a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. My husband told me that the streets here are crazy. Well, we do live in Chicago and everyone is Irish in Chicago on St. Patrick's Day!!!
