Raglan Sleeve Sloper
The raglan sleeve is one of the most popular sleeves in fashion. Our lesson will teach you the fundamentals of how to draft this sleeve using your bodice sloper and your straight sleeve sloper. We will demonstrate two raglan versions, a one-piece and a two-piece sleeve. Our drafting method is easy and will definitely inspire you to design lots of raglan variations.
The front and back bodice sloper needed for this lesson can be found and drafted in our lesson: Pivoting a Front Shoulder Dart to One Waist Dart. For how to pivot a back shoulder dart to a neckline view our Pattern making lesson: Pivoting a Back-Shoulder Dart to a Back-Neckline Dart. The sleeve sloper needed for this lesson can be found and drafted in our Pattern making lesson: Straight Sleeve Sloper.
