How to Baste Tailored Jacket Sleeves Step by Step – ISOT Lesson 33 – Traditional Model

This lesson shows how to baste tailored jacket sleeves into the Traditional jacket. Reza demonstrates how to baste, evaluate, press and secure the sleeves of the Traditional Model. The purpose is to teach ease distribution, also known as distribution of fullness, so students can learn how to control extra sleeve fullness evenly around the armhole. This is not just a lesson on attaching sleeves. It explains how opposing curves, gathers and Shape by Angle affect the way a sleeve is set into a jacket. Shape by Angle is a term coined by Reza at the International School of Tailoring to explain one specific way of creating shape through opposing angles. In this lesson, the sleeve pattern is cut with more fullness than usual. This forces the student to practise distributing the sleeve fullness correctly instead of relying on an easy sleeve fit. The goal is to understand how sleeve position, pitch marks, seam placement, front roll, pressing and armhole control affect the final shape and hang of the sleeve. In this lesson, you will see: • How to baste tailored jacket sleeves into the Traditional Model • How opposing curves, gathers and Shape by Angle affect sleeve setting • How to distribute sleeve fullness around the armhole • How to evaluate seam position, sleeve pitch and front roll • How to press a basted sleeve • How to secure the armhole after basting • How to evaluate both sleeves before continuing construction This is ISOT Lesson 33 in Module 1 of the ISOT Online Coat Ma
