Isabella's Project Diary

When I did my Eleonora paned sleeve I used a bent sleeve pattern that had a front and back seam. I then split the middle of each of those pieces creating 4 pieces. I added seam allowances to all the pieces, lined and finished each of them individually then measured which points I wanted to join with the buttons (in your case beads) and tacked them together there and added the button. This give a structured tidy sleeve that is nicely shaped when one is naturally allowing their arm to drape naturally. One can also add strips of linen to permanently puff through if one doesn’t want to worry about pulling one’s chemise through. I think the neckline is pinked. (I would also advise couching the gold design rather then embroidering it)
