Title: Lynn McMaster's Spiral Paned Sleeve
Post by: Lady Isabella on November 15, 2011, 12:32:42 PM
So I have had this pattern for a few years now and I must admit I'm a little intimidated. Has anyone made view A? Or any of the three options? Any advise and PICTURES would be greatly appreciated!

I had to improvise on his Lordship's sleeves.

I used the basic sleeve shape and copied it to some blank paper. Then I drafted the slashes at an angle with a ruler and triangle. The slashes are actually loooong button hole sticthes that stop 2" shy of the seam line.
I don't know if this helps you with the pattern.

Wow! You guys look great together. Awesome picture.
Did you use her pattern or draft your own? If you used her pattern, was it true to size?
What kind of fabric did you use?

I started out with hers, but the circumference was too small for his arms, pretty much why I had to copy in onto blank paper so I could size it up.

I can personally attest to the fact that the Don and the Doña are a great couple, and always look perfect!  :)

That is one of the patterns of Lynn's I do not have.  :(

I will have to remedy that.  :)

I had the pleasure  2 years ago to meet the Don and Dona. And they always look stunning together.
