These instructions are based on the instructions and method from the book How to Make Sewing Patterns by Don McCunn (1977 revised edition) ISBN 0-932538-00-2. This book has been updated and may be purchased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Sewing-Patterns-second/dp/0932538215. In this tutorial, the method described there will be referred to as “the McCunn method”.

To begin creating a sleeve pattern using the McCunn method, open Valentina. Figure 2 shows the window that will be displayed when Valentina is first opened before pattern creation has begun.

The basic window shown in Figure 2 will remain visible during the rest of the pattern creation and until the Valentina program is terminated. Click “Measurements” and select “Load Individual” from the drop down menu. Load the measurement file you plan to use. (The measurement file would have been created previously using the TAPE program and include the following measurements as a minimum: L01, L16, L11, D04, L02.)

Each time Valentina creates a new pattern piece a base point is created. Because “McCunn-basic-sleeve” is the first pattern piece in the pattern file created in this example, the base point is labeled “A”.

Several tools exist as part of the Valentina software program. A general description of these tools may be found in under [[UserManual:Tools]]. When using each tool, you will find additional information in the context specific [[UserManual:Tools#Help_sentence]]
