I can't find an email adress or blog...Hi Arvin,<br />I can't find an email adress or blog via your profile (maybe because of the switch to Google+) so I'll reply here.<br />I think your problem is not with the shirt block instructions, but with the different measurements used in this book. Your calculation itself is right but I agree the result makes no sense. I think you should take a good look at pages 9,10 and 11. The 'sleeve length for shirts' is measured from the nape of the neck to the wrist over a bent arm. This results in the largest of arm or sleeve measurements used in this book and it's why you have to substract yoke width. I think this is done because men's shirts are loosely fitted and should provide a good range of movement for the arms. <br />I guess you are using some other arm length measurement. <br />Also 33,5 cm is a rather large yoke width, both the book's standard sizes and the shirts I've drafted are under 30 cm. If this is for a particularly broad shouldered person, it's absolutely fine, if not, check the half back measurement and the first 9 steps of drafting the body section. <br />Best of luck with the pattern and feel free to comment or email if you have any more questions.Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-81282977687462551342013-03-13T22:23:04.803+01:002013-03-13T22:23:04.803+01:00hi, id like to ask you about drafting the sleeves ...hi, id like to ask you about drafting the sleeves pattern, i am also using winifred aldrich book 4th edition and i got stuck on sleeves.
