This is another pattern that could use more information on resizing. When I first sewed mine together, I discovered I could not fit my hand into the sleeve because it was too tight. I checked on the Reconstructing History e-mail list, and discovered that other women have had this same problem and the solution is to cut a 10″ square gusset instead of the 5″ square the pattern calls for. If you want the “bag” sleeve look, this means you’ll need to cut the sleeves larger as well.
