How to make a basic short sleeve pattern

Materials needed

Scissors
Tape measure
Pattern paper
Pencil and eraser
Curve rulers
Straight ruler

You will also need the armhole circumference 17" (medium size)
Full arm circumference 12" (medium)
Short sleeve length 7.5" (standard)

Line up the shoulder of your front and back bodice pattern to make sure that they are properly lined up

Take the measurement of the arm hole circumference

Draw your guide line and intersect it at the centre with a straight line. Mark this intersection point A.

Measure and mark out 1/3 of the armhole circumference along this line. This becomes point "B".

Label one side of the line the front and the other side the back.

Continue constructing the cap line of the sleeve.

Measure half of the armhole circumference place one end of the tape on point A and the other end on the line on point B.
Mark this point. B1 and B2 for front and back respectively. Then draw a straight line to join point A to B1 and do same for B2.

Mark out 1/3 of the lineAB1 in two places and do same for line AB2.

Label these two new points C and D for the front and C1 and D2 for the back.

At point A Mark 3/4" towards the front and1/2" towards the back. Label these points A1 and A2 respectively.

From C move up the line 1/2" Mark this new point C2 and erase point C
From C3 go up 3/4" in a diagonal manner.

Mark this new point E
and on the back part from C1 move up the line 1/4" Mark this new point C3, erase C1
From C3 move up in a diagonal manner 5/8" and Mark this new point E1

From point D go up along the line 11/4" and Mark this new point F

From D1 on the back part move up 1/2" along the line and mark this new point F1

Get the midpoint between B1 and D on the front side and Mark this new point G

Also on the back part get the midpoint between B2 and F1 and Mark this as G1

From G go up 1/8" along the line and Mark this new point G2
Erase G and D

From G2 go down 1/2" in a diagonal manner and mark this new point H

Also from G1 go down 3/8" in a diagonal manner and Mark this new point H1

From Points B1 and B2 go in 1/4" for form new points B3 and B4

Start joining your points using a curved ruler

On the front part of the sleeve pattern

A - A1 - E - F - H -B3 - B1

Also join the back sleeve pattern points

A - A2 - E1 - F - H - B4 - B2

Measure and Mark out the sleeve length. I am using 7.5" as a standard

Extend this point by drawing a line.

Mark out 1" for the seam allowance.

Cut out your pattern

Measure B1 to B2 this should be equivalent to the circumference of your fullest arm 12" for the medium plus 1/2" for easing.

Fold the seam allowance inwards
