In reply to Shirlie blackwell. Yes, that is what you want to do. On this page you can see original 1890s sleeve draft shapes. Good luck!

Dear Jennifer, I am trying to make a blouse suitable for a Victorian theme night. I have a very nice pattern, which unfortunately has just straight long sleeves. I want straight sleeves from just above the elbow down to the wrist, and with quite puffy top sleeve from above the elbow to the shoulder. Am I right in assuming that if I cut slits in the top half of the sleeve pattern, then stretch the slits out placing the whole piece on marking paper and then pencil around the widened area to draw another pattern piece, that this would work. Gratefully yours, Shirlie xx

Barbara,
This workbook is currently only available as a digital PDF file. You can save the file then print it out yourself or take it to a printer or office supply store where they can print and even bind it for you. Thanks for the question.

Is this a true work book made with paper pages or a digital book? I much prefer a true “book” for this kind of thing.
Thank you!
Barbara

In reply to Becky. The cream brocade? It's mostly cotton but with some poly (I believe but don't know for sure). It is a damask as it's all one color with the pattern woven around the stain weave. A brocade would offer the same but in multi-colored patterns. You can get similar in silks too.

Jennifer, what is the fabric shown in the photo above. I looked yesterday for a cotton twill or poplin but didn’t see any with a shiny surface. Should I order it online?
