Ah, okay. I got out my draping book (Draping for Apparel Design by Helen Joseph-Armstrong) and looked at the sleeve pages. It shows how to make a basic sleeve using patternmaking techniques but the adjustments it talks about pertain mostly to fullness in the sleeve caps. (My problem seems to be in the underarm area though since that's where it's pulling.)It also shows how to adjust your pattern if the sleeve swings backwards or forwards too much. Does that sound similar to what's in your book? I've been meaning to get myself a patternmaking book and relearn the material for some time but haven't gotten around to it yet.
I'll be coming back to the jacket sometime in the next few months but it's postponed for now while I concentrate on my phoenix prop.
