Question for mom's who've used KSFT

[sabrinat]

How did you alter the sleeves to get rid of the dropped arm appearance. Do I take away from the top and bottom. I'm a decent sewist, but horrible at alterations and not very patient to boot...I don't see myself making a bunch of muslins to test...I'm more of the instant gratification kind of person

You'd have to subtract from the top of the shoulder on the body piece and to compensate, add to the top of the curve of the sleeve piece. Basically making the curve on both pieces more exaggerated.

Ok, I think I get it. How much do you suggest I subtract?

Can you hold the pattern piece up to whomever is going to were it and mark where you want it to hit on the shoulder? Mske the curvestart from that point, draw a line an toy have your stitching line. Add seam allowances if you didn't before and violá!
