Sleeve cutting method with body measurement

We will learn the sleeve cutting method for any regular kurti with all the respective body measurements.

So let’s begin the sleeve cutting method with body measurements.

Required Measurements For Sleeve Cutting Method:

Here is the method to take body measurements.

• Sleeve length – measure from the shoulder in the hand till the length is to be kept
• Sleeve round(mori) – take a hand measurement in the round where the length of the sleeve is reached
• Width between sleeves – take the measurement in the round, as much as the arm measurement is more

Method:

• After taking measurements as written, fold the fabric 2 times.

Steps with the figure:

• Let’s take an example with measurements as given below:
  • Sleeve length: 16″
  • Sleeve round(mori): 11″
  • Width between sleeves: 15″
• Firstly, take the length and add 1.5″ on the folded side, as shown in the figure.
  • Length = 16″+1.5″
• Secondly, take the measurement of the sleeve round(mori) from the length, for that take 1/2 of the sleeve round and add 1.5″
  • Sleeve round(mori) = 11″/2 = 5.5″+1.5″
• As shown in the figure, for taking the width of the sleeves keep 3.5″ from the top, for that take 1/2 of the sleeve width, and add 1.5″
  • Sleeve width = 15″/2 = 7.5″+1.5″

• Then draw the front side round and the back side round separately.
• Firstly, cut the back side round.
• Then, separate both sides of the sleeves and cut the front side in both sleeves.
• All the measurements are given in inches(“).

Other Objectives:

• This sleeve cutting is for any regular kurti, or top-like shirt as well.
• We can change the size of the length accordingly; for example, if we want to make full sleeves then increase the length.
• According to the design of kurti, we can also make various designs in the particular sleeve.
• Different styles of sleeves add to a garment’s silhouette and style and can create movement and structure to the piece.

Conclusion:

• I hope this method of drafting the sleeves will help you in making any type of sleeves.
• In the future, we will also learn about the puff sleeve cutting method.
