I recently had a big wrangle with a sleeve, where I had to raise an armscye to give myself more movement, and then draft a new sleeve. After several false starts I ended up back here and used your sleeve drafting lesson. I should have known to come here first! (All my sleeve drafting in books was based on using your bodice block, which I didn't have). It's so much better but still... not quite right. Very acceptable but I just know I'm missing something.<br /><br />Sleeve are mysterious, is what I'm saying, and I want to know more about them!<br /><br />That is such a beautiful garment. And some lovely photos of it! It's lovely to see more of you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-22895813586414186132014-01-30T19:44:26.516-06:002014-01-30T19:44:26.516-06:00Stunning.

I bought one similar garment for a little girl from Hong Kong, but it wasn't long enough to be a dress, nor short enough to be a top for jeans etc. So, paired with some leggings, it still looked great.

But the frogs!
