WHAT IS A SLEEVE PATTERN BLOCK?

A sleeve pattern block, also called a sleeve sloper, is a professional base pattern used to develop original sleeve designs.

These are not finished sewing patterns for one specific garment. They are reusable sleeve templates intended for garment drafting, pattern manipulation and the creation of custom tops, blouses, dresses, costumes and other garments.

Use the blocks as a foundation, adjust the design when required and add your preferred seam allowance before cutting the fabric.

COMPATIBLE BODICE BLOCKS

These sleeves are designed to coordinate with Basic Pattern Block women’s bodice patterns.

The bodice block is not included in this product and must be purchased separately.

When using these sleeves with a bodice or sewing pattern from another designer, adjustments to the sleeve cap or armhole may be required because drafting methods and measurements vary between brands.

SIZES INCLUDED

XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL and 6XL.

Please check the included size chart and select the size that corresponds most closely to your body measurements.

We recommend making a toile or test garment before cutting your final fabric.
