THE PRACTICAL DESIGNER

LESSON 154.

CHILD'S SLEEVE.—SIZE 6, WITHOUT ANY FULLNESS, FOR 26-INCH BREAST.

To begin, draw a line from A to F and D; from A to B is one-third of size, or 4 3/8 inches. C is one-half of A and B; from B to D is 11 inches for inside sleeve length; E is one-half of B and D; E is the elbow line. Now cross all lines from A, B, E and D, and measure from A to F and from D to I, half the size, or 6 1/2 inches. Cross a line from F to I; from G to V is one-twelfth of size, or 1 1/8 inches. Cross a line from C to V and take half of this space to make T. Draw a square line down from T to U and half between, which makes the "Star" (*) From T to X is 3/4 inch; from X to W is also 3/4 inch; from G to S is 1/2 inch and from H to M is 1/2 inch. Take half of D and I to make J; from J to K is 1 1/2 inches. Draw a line from K to I, O and P; I to O is 1/2 inch, and from O to P is also 1/2 inch, then draw a line from O to N and G, and from P to H and S. The line at O should reach to Q; the space from O to Q should be the same space as from L to R; from K to L is 1 inch; from E to M is 2 inches. Now connect lines from K to E and R and M up to W and draw a line from R to Q, which is the inside sleeve. Now cure the top sleeve from C to V and complete the curve from V to S. The undersleeve is from W to T and G; at W is a mark with seam allowance, and all seams are otherwise allowed.
