Sleeve Fitting Masterclass: Pitch Marks, Fullness & Hang – ISOT Bonus Lesson 34 – Part 4 – Pagoda

This part of ISOT Bonus Lesson 34 explains how to fit jacket sleeves that are too big on the advanced Pagoda Model. Reza shows a systematic method for fitting sleeves to the armhole after the body of the jacket has already been altered. Once the fitting corrections are made to the body, the original sleeve position can no longer be trusted blindly. The pitch marks, sleeve fullness, sleeve width, sleeve depth and sleeve hang must be reassessed in relation to the corrected armhole. This lesson shows how to mark the pitch marks on the armhole, baste the sleeves into position, assess how much fullness or width must be removed, and match the sleeve depth to the armhole depth. Reza also explains how to rotate a sleeve forward or backward when the sleeve hang is faulty and you do not have access to the original pattern. Reza also shows how to balance the roll of the sleeve when too much roll appears at the front or back, and how to correct sleeve hang by rotating the sleeve forward or backward when the original pattern is not available. This is not just a sleeve basting lesson. It is an advanced sleeve fitting lesson showing how the sleeve must be fitted to the corrected body of the jacket, not simply attached according to the original pattern. In this lesson, you will see: • How to mark pitch marks on the corrected armhole • How to baste the sleeve into the pitch marks • How to assess when a sleeve is too big • How to decide how much fullness or width to remove • How to match
