Line 9:

My basic sleeve pattern that I will change to a bell sleeve:

The sleeve is divided into 6 sections using 5 divide lines. The underarm parts are kept intact and the rest are rotated. I chose 10⁰ for this exercise but you could use angles of lines or any degrees that you want to.

Because the underarm sections remain intact, I used the '''Point from X and Y of 2 Other Points''' to square down from C46 and C49:

Add dotted lines from C46 to C16, C49 to C18 and Shoulder to Elbow, using the '''Line Between Points''' tool:

[[File:Bell008.png~~|300px~~]]

Using the '''Midpoint between 2 points''' tool, place a point between C16-Elbow and Elbow-C18.

Line 21:

Repeat between Elbow and C18:

Redraw curve C46-C33-C36 (I used the '''Curved Path tool'''), C36-ShoulderTip ('''Simple Curve tool'''), ShoulderTip- C39, C29-C46, C39-C34-C49 and C49-C30:

I now have the sleeve set up to start rotating the pieces.

Line 30:

Select '''Rotate Objects''' tool under the '''Operations''' tab, holding down the CTRL key (I use Windows), click on the curve between C29 and C46, C29, C9, C11 and C16.

(All your selected items will have a dotted square around them as above.)

Release the CTRL key and press Enter.

[[File:Bell016.png~~|150px~~]]

[[File:Bell016.png]]

(Now all your selected items will have green markings.)

Line 42:

Enter the degrees of the rotation in and click on OK.

[[File:Bell018.png~~|300px~~]]

[[File:Bell018.png]]

I have entered -10 because I am rotating the selection to the left.

Draw in the lines in any colour that you choose.

[[File:Bell020.png~~|300px~~]]

[[File:Bell020.png]]

As you can see, the new points have c1 added to the original labels.

Line 55:

Draw in lines.

[[File:Bell022.png~~|300px~~]]

[[File:Bell022.png]]

The middle line will only be rotated by 5⁰ since the other 5⁰ will be done when doing the right side.

Line 63:

Draw in lines.

[[File:Bell024.png~~|400px~~]]

Now you may repeat these instructions for the other side. Just don't use the - (minus) in the degrees.

===Note===

Below are some helpful hints and links that I am including here for those who have not seen them yet.

===Help sentence===

As soon as you select a tool, there is a little help sentence that pops up in the bottom left corner, like this:

When in doubt, see what this tells you to do.

===Groups of tools===

Valentina tools are currently grouped according to the object they create or use. You should take into account that grouping is conditional and used to make working with Valentina easier.
