LESSON 158
HOW TO GRADE A CHILD'S TWO-PIECE SLEEVE.—SIZE 6.
Before commencing to grade complete sleeve and cut out separately. Place each part of the sleeve on a separate sheet of paper and mark out carefully. We first mark out the top sleeve, as shown on the diagram, from A, B, C, D, F, G and H. When the sleeve is all marked out cross lines from D to B and from D to A; these lines show an increase for top and bottom of sleeve. Now divide from A to D to make E and cross lines out from E, G, F, H; from A to I is 1/4 inch lost to L; from B to J and from C to K increase 1 inch for the length of sleeve, and connect a line from J to K. This completes the grade of the top sleeve.
To begin the grading of the undersleeve, mark the undersleeve the same way on a sheet of paper from A, B and C to D; then cross lines from A to C and from A to E; from B to E is 1/4 inch, from C and D to J is 1 inch, which increases the length of sleeve. The length of sleeve should be increased the same for both top and undersleeve alike. Now connect from E and I to J. This completes the grading of this sleeve.
