How to draw the sleeve pattern

• A-C: From point A measure 4.5" and mark point C .This is a standard measurement.
• C-B: From point C measure  [sleeve length  minus 4.5"] =3.5"
• B-F: From point B measure 1.5" and mark point F.This for the fold.
• C-D:From point C measure [shoulder /2=8] and  mark point D
• B-E: From point B measure[base of sleeve /2  +0.5"=6.5"] and mark point E
• A-D: Join point A and D
• D-E: Join point D and E
• H: Find the midpoint of line A-D and mark point H
• I:  Find the mid point in line H-D and mark point I
• J: Now measure 0.5 inches from point H upwards in 90 degree angle  and mark J
• A-J-I: Now join point A ,J and I  in a curved line
• F-G: Measure 1.5" from point B upwards and then find the width from that point to line D-E. Use that measurement and measure from point F and mark point G. The idea behind in doing this is ; we want line E-G  to align with line D-E when we fold the pattern at line B-E upwards.

The final step is to cut the pattern .Therefore you cut along line A-J-I-D-E-G-F-B-C-A.
