This is EXACTLY what I was searching for!

Because I couldn't find any useful information myself, i asked my mother to teach me to draft one some years ago. Her method, as always, was based on some intuitive, secret concept that worked when her hand was drawing all the curves and lines but not when mine attempted to copy them. I understand (from ancient drafting books) that while raglan sleeves can be adapted from a basic set-in sleeve, the standard method of drafting them from foundational principles is by starting with a Magyar sleeve (you can google it) pattern. Neither of those sleeves has a set-in armhole, which indicates that it is difficult to compare sleeve depths between a raglan and a set-in. They are drafted from different foundations, which is a fancy way of saying the set-in sleeve is drafted from a fitted bicep and shoulder while the raglan/Magyar is not.<br /><br />I know this isn't immediately helpful :( Sorry. <br /><br />However, if you keep in mind that all seams can be shaped to have some kind of darting effect i.e. even the raglan seam line can be curved to add or remove ease at very specific points in the upper chest area, it might free you to shape any sleeve you want to draft to fit you specifically. This other post might be helpful, if only conceptually (it's not about raglan sleeves but set-in sleeves): http://www.ikatbag.com/2014/03/subtelties-in-drafting-sleeves.html<br /><br />I wish you success in your drafting! <br />LiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-71279850032441908832018-06-07T03:28:07.924-05:002018-06-07T03:28:07.924-05:00How does the armscye depth of a raglan sleeve comp...How does the armscye depth of a raglan sleeve compare to a set in sleeve, in a woven fabric garment? I read somewhere that raglan sleeve underarms are lower than a set in sleeve underarm for extra mobility. BUT... no other tutorial seems to make this allowance or even mention it at all. <br /><br />I'm still new to drafting my own patterns and sleeves are my nemesis. I'd be grateful for your input. There is surprisingly little advanced information about raglan sleeves available on the internet. I am working on redrafting a "standard size" pattern for my plus size self. The original design is raglan sleeve that only goes about halfway to the neckline. I attempted to modify a bodice block for set in sleeves to a raglan bodice, because it was familiar, but I think I've just made it more difficult for myself, haha. <br />bonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258051229814886245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-40950657818421744872018-02-22T15:45:41.090-06:002018-02-22T15:45:41.090-06:00thank you for the easy answers!thank you for the easy answers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-54216043714568471552017-02-23T15:13:07.049-06:002017-02-23T15:13:07.049-06:00fantastic explanation of concepts. thank you so mu...fantastic explanation of concepts. thank you so much!
