 the patterns, allow seams at all edges, except the center-back.

To make the sleeve pattern, use your block shirtwaist sleeve pattern. Decide on the length that you want it at the underarm seams and mark points an equal distance from the lower edge at each side, as points A and B. (See Fig. 63.) Draw a line connecting these points.

Mark the center of the sleeve, as point C. Also mark points half way between C and A and half way between C and B, as points D and E. At point D, draw a line at right angle to the line AB and mark a point on it, one-half inch above the line AB. At point E, draw a line at right angle to line AB and mark a point on it, one-half inch below line AB. Curve a new lower edge line from A to B, touching these new points on lines D and E [ 54 ]
