High sleeve head: small fit at upper arm. For stretchy fabric like jersey only.
Medium high sleeve head: looser fit. For jersey, thicker knits or sweat.
Flat sleeve head: wide fit. All sort of fabrics.

The sleeve head is spread by this amount. This will lead to a larger sleeve head scope, which will need to be gathered to fit into the armscye.

The sleeve is drawn wider as the cuff by this amount. The cuff needs to be stretched while sewing.

Choose here if you want to gather or fold the additional fabric on the sleeve wrist to the cuff.

Choose here if you want a classic placket or a simple tape placket.

Amount the shoulder width should be shortened. The shoulder point is moved to the inside. Please note: This amount might get reduced if this would result in a shoulder smaller than 5cm!

The value defines the depth of the armhole. Increasing this value will increase the width of the upper sleeve and also the bust width. Smaller values may increase movement.

Want some more poof above the cuff? You can also set this option and add some elastic to the wrist.
