== Using the Rotate Tool to Create Bell Sleeves == <!--T:1-->
<!--T:2-->
Firstly, I am using the images as shown in the book '''How to Make Sewing Patterns''' by '''Don McCunn''' which may be purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Sewing-Patterns-second/dp/0932538215.
<!--T:3-->
My basic sleeve pattern that I will change to a bell sleeve:<br>
[[File:Bell002.png]]<br>
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.
<!--T:4-->
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:<br>

Line 18 ⟶ 21:
Using the '''Midpoint between 2 points''' tool, place a point between C16-Elbow and Elbow-C18.<br>
<!--T:5-->
Using the '''Point Intersect Curve and Axis''' tool, select the curve at some point between C33 and C27 and then the point created above (C32). Change the line to a dotted line and the degrees to 90⁰.
<!--T:6-->
Repeat between Elbow and C18:<br>

Line 25 ⟶ 30:

<!--T:7-->
I now have the sleeve set up to start rotating the pieces.
<!--T:8-->
As the picture in the above-mentioned book shows, they work from the outside towards the centre, so I am going to do this as well but I'll start on the left side and then do the right side - you may do it the other way, if you wish.
<!--T:9-->
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.<br>

<!--T:10-->
(All your selected items will have a dotted square around them as above.)
<!--T:11-->
Release the CTRL key and press Enter.<br>
[[File:Bell016.png]]<br>
<!--T:12-->
(Now all your selected items will have green markings.)
<!--T:13-->
Select the Point of Origin. In this case it is C46 which I would like to stay in the same place while C16 must rotate out to the left, taking all my selected points with it.
<!--T:14-->
Enter the degrees of the rotation in and click on OK.<br>
[[File:Bell018.png]]<br>
<!--T:15-->
I have entered -10 because I am rotating the selection to the left.
<!--T:16-->
Draw in the lines in any colour that you choose.<br>
[[File:Bell020.png]]<br>
As you can see, the new points have c1 added to the original labels.
<!--T:17-->
The next section you will choose the curve between C46-C36, C29c1-C46, C46, C29c1, C9c1, C11c1, C16c1, C16 and C32.
<!--T:18-->
Press Enter. Select C36 as the axis and enter -10⁰.
<!--T:19-->
Draw in lines.
<br>[[File:Bell022.png]]<br>
The middle line will only be rotated by 5⁰ since the other 5⁰ will be done when doing the right side.
<!--T:20-->
The next section you will choose the curve between C35-ShoulderTip, C46c2-C36, C29c1c2-C46c2, C36, C46c2, C29c1c2, C9c1c2, C11c1c2, C16c1c2, C16c2, C32c2, C32 and elbow.
<!--T:21-->
Press Enter. Select Elbow as the axis and enter -5⁰.
<!--T:22-->
Draw in lines.
