===Measurements=== <!--T:2-->
The sleeve block, like all Seamly2D patterns is based on measuments of the intended wearer. Measurements must be recorded using the TAPE program (see [[Tape | Tape User Manual]]). <br> <br>
The following ValentinaSeamly2D measurements are required to construct a sleeve block using the McCunn method.
 
* L01 arm_shoulder_tip_to_wrist_bent
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* L02 arm_shoulder_tip_to_elbow_bent
 
Before attempting to draft a sleeve pattern with this method, ensure that you have created and saved a measurement file (.vit) which contains values for L01, L02, L11, L16, and D04. This may be accomplished using the TAPE program (see [[Tape | Tape User Manual]]).
 
The instructions for drafting a basic sleeve may be found on pages 71-75 in the 1977 revised edition or pages 79-82 in the 2016 second edition. In the McCunn method, the five measurements required to draft a basic sleeve are called

'''Figure 1''' presents the same information as a drawing from the book that describes the method. This picture shows the basic reference lines and other major lines used in constructing the main portion of the sleeve.
<br> <br>
[[File:Mccunn-sleeve-construction.jpg|left|thumb|'''Figure 1''']]
The McCunn method uses two reference lines. The '''Sleeve Centerline''' is drawn as a vertical line with length equal to the Valentina measurement '''arm_shoulder_tip_to_wrist_bent'''.<br> <br>
The '''Biceps Line''' is drawn at a right angle to the Sleeve Centerline with half of the length of the Valentina measurement '''arm_upper_circ''' plus wearing ease extending on each side from the center. Wearing ease is defined in the book as a fixed number (1.5" in each half of the line for a total of 3"). This line is drawn at a distance of '''arm_shoulder_tip_to_armfold_line''' from the top of the Sleeve Centerline.<br> <br>
''To facilitate the pattern created in Valentina in being scalable, the wearing ease will be calculated as 20% of the arm_upper_circ. For example, a person with a measurement of 15" at the bicep would have a sleeve drawn by this method with 3" wearing ease.'' <br> <br>
The '''Wrist Line''' is drawn at a right angle to the Sleeve Centerline with half of the length of the Valentina measurement '''hand_palm_circ''' extending on each side from the center. This line is drawn at the wrist end of the Sleeve Centerline. By using the palm circumference instead of the wrist circumference, we will ensure that the sleeve opening is large enough for the wearer's hand to pass through. <br> <br> The '''shoulder_to_elbow''' Measurement would be used to place the elbow dart to shape the sleeve. Although the book describes adding a dart at the elbow, we will omit that from this tutorial because it does not add to the user's ability to learn to use the Valentina tools.<br> <br>
'''Figure 1-V''' shows the same drawing as '''Figure 1''', but shows the image as it will be presented in the valentina program after you have finished the first half of the detailed steps of this tutorial. These steps of the [[Formulas_McCunn_Sleeve|detailed instructions]] will create this construct which will act as the basis for the arm portion of the sleeve pattern.

''One strength of using a formula based tool, such as Seamly2D to create a pattern is that the pattern may be generated based on individual measurements. The intent of this particular pattern is to be scalable from doll sized through the entire range of different sizes of potential human wearers. To facilitate the pattern created in ValentinaSeamly2D in being scalable, the wearing ease will be calculated as 20% of the arm_upper_circ. For example, a person with a measurement of 15" at the bicep would have a sleeve drawn by this method with 3" wearing ease.'' <br> <br>
