  Thanks! I’m so glad I found this when I am about to make a puffed sleeved shirt for myself. :D

  That’s perfect! All my ideas had this sleeve but I could never sew it the right way. Thanks so much! One q, though, how would you make the pattern longer to reach at least the elbow?

    I realize this is an old post, but I’m curious about this as well—did you ever figure out how to extend it?

  Cool…that’s a very smart way to alter a sleeve!

  This is great! I saw many how-tos on doing this on the internet and in books, but this seems to be the most illustrative one! I’m looking forward to your other How Tos!

  It’s great idea. I would love to see more pattern drafting like this. There are so many different type of sleeves, collars, and etc. We should do all!
