I ended up taking out quite a bit of fullness because this goes WAY beyond what you'd have to "ease" in. So, it's not just you! ;) I'll have a rake around for the pattern pieces and see if I can give you some tips on where to pull out the fullness from/how to line it up, etc., if you like?Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870223761636071960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903126359228365618.post-23898291319140174552014-08-11T14:32:19.316-04:002014-08-11T14:32:19.316-04:00Hi, just googled 18th century jacket and your site...Hi, just googled 18th century jacket and your site came up which is great because I am in the process of making the same jacket and am looking for advice on the sleeve! This is the first JP Ryan pattern that I've used. I decided to make a fitting muslin. I am having a hard time fitting the sleeve into the arm hole. There's not a lot of info with the pattern and she says to "pin sleeve to bodice, matching notch in sleeve head to shoulder seam. Continue pinning in sleeve, gently easing sleeve to fit." I am used to pinning sleeve seam to side seam in a bodice but this doesn't line up. The shoulder seam is very set back on shoulder (which I understand is historically accurate. And the top of the sleeve seems way large for the arm hole--I feel I will end up with more puffing of the sleeve than easing. Did you have this problem?

It helps that I'd used this pattern before, so I had a basic idea and knew it was close enough to fitting that I could skip the muslin. ;)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870223761636071960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903126359228365618.post-18544544974636442142012-12-29T01:40:37.745-05:002012-12-29T01:40:37.745-05:00THAT is freaking awesome!
