LESSON 103.
CHILD'S SLEEVE WITHOUT FULLNESS.—SIZE SIX.
To begin the sleeve we use the breast measurement of the garment and inside length for the sleeve. The size we use follows size 6, or 26 inches breast measurement, and 10 inches inside sleeve length. To begin, draw a line from A to F and from A to D: from A to B is one-third of size, or 4 3/4 inches; from B to D is the inside sleeve length. E is the elbow line. Now cross a line from A, B, E to D; C is half A and B; cross a line from F to I; from G to V is one-twelfth of size, or 1 1/8 inches; now cross a line from V to C and take half, which makes T; from T to X is 1 inch. Divide from D to I, which makes J; from J to K is 1 1/2 inches; from H to N is 1/2 inch; from O to P is also 1/2 inch. Connect O to N, and N to G; then connect a line from P to H and from H to S; from K to L is 1 inch; from E to M is 2 inches; connect a line from K to E, which is the top sleeve; now connect a line from L to M and M to X; from X to W is 3/4 inch; cross a square line down from T to U and divide between, which makes the star. Make the curve at the star from V to C and finish up the curve from V to S; finish the curve for the under-sleeve from W with a seam marked to T down to G. At O and L increase the under-sleeve length to Q and R with the space which is shown with a straight line from I, crossing out to Q, which is about 1/2 inch; the inside length for the top sleeve is from S down to P, and the inside length for the under-sleeve is from G to Q This completes the child's sleeve with all seams allowed.
