I have learned to draft the armpit hole in the body block pattern, Is it the one and only way to do armpit hole or is there other kind of armpit hole for two pieces sleeves?

Re: Armhole for Two Piece Sleeve

 Dear vbaouy,

The drafting of the armhole for the two piece sleeve requires some changes, since this is usually used for jackets and coats that need to be larger to accommodate other garments worn underneath.

After drafting the block pattern, we enlarge the pattern from the side seams , then widen the shoulder seams and the armpit lines from the armhole side and also increase the size of the armhole by lowering it along its bottom edge.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
