Cup Sleeve Pattern Making Tutorial
In this free pattern making tutorial we demonstrate how to draft Tanja’s (Ayuk 2020) cup sleeve which has been designed for our made-to-measure stretch dress. It’s a fab tutorial that features a whole range of pattern making techniques in Adobe Illustrator. This is part two of our stretch dress tutorial designed by Tanja. Click here to view part one. We adore the volume added to the sleeve head and the fun pleat that adds some much needed kick to the sleeve body.
If you want to find out more about Tanja from Ayuk 2020, check out her PatternLab profile or see the manual version of the tutorial on her YouTube.
This is a pretty straight forward tutorial but people inexperienced in Adobe Illustrator might find it quite tricky. Either way, it’s a great tutorial/ pattern that touches on a large array of tools in Adobe Illustrator.
