THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER

LESSON 91.

MISSES' SIXTEEN SIZE SLEEVE WITHOUT ANY FULLNESS.

To begin this sleeve, we follow the same rules as 36, only the size changes. To begin, draw a line from A to F and from A to D; from A to B is one-third of size, or 5 3/4 inches. Half of A and B is C; from A to F is half of the size, or 8 1/3 inches; from B to D is inside sleeve length, which is 17; inches for this style. E is half-way of B and D. Cross all lines from A, B, E and D; from D to I is half the size, or 8 1/2 inches. Connect a line from I to F; from G to V is one-twelfth of size, or 1 3/8 inches. Take half of C and V, which makes T, and square a line down from T to U, and connect from V to C (see diagram No. 2). From T to X is 1 inch; divide from I to D, which makes J; from J to K is 2 inches, and draw a line against L, which makes from I to O 1 inch. From O to P is also 1 inch; from H to N is 1 inch, which is inside elbow line; from G to S is 1/2 inch. Draw a line from C to N and N to G; from P to N up to S, or, if a straight top sleeve is wanted, draw a line from P to H and from H to S; from K to L is 1 1/2 inches. Connect a is inside elbow line; from G to S is 1/2 inch. Draw a line from S to N and line from K to E and from L to M, and from M to W; from X to W is 3/4 inch. Then curve the top part of the sleeve with a circle, which is made by the star. From V to C finish up the front curve; from V to S, this star is half between T and U; curve the undersleeve at W and raise the same, as shown on the diagram, and then curve against T down to G, as shown on the diagram. The inside cure at the elbow line should be somewhat filled in, so as not to have the lines broken. The same instructions should be used for the outside of the elbow of this sleeve.
