Reply To: Pattern is too small

How much are you increasing the bustline by? Because the sleeve is normally eased into an armhole, it doesn’t need to be an exact measurement, although you want the sleeve cap to be slightly larger, rather than slightly smaller than the armhole. So if you’re increasing the bustline by 5″ total (which is 2 1/2 on each side) but only 1″ on the sleeve you might have an issue. If they’re pretty close to the same, then I would proceed with a muslin and see if you can just ease the two pieces together without an issue. good luck!
