with a hint or two on my per-
sonal approach. However, if
you find your way is easier,
then, don't change a hair for
me stay with it.
It's often necessary to add
a gusset to a kimona sleeve
il the sleeve is too short to
permit the arm to be raised
easily. This sleeve is formed
when waist and sleeve are
cut in one with or without a
shoulder seam. A gusset will
relieve strain and add COM
fort. 1t is usually a square
with opposite points fitting
into a slashed opening and
to the underarm seam.
One1Piece GusSet: II the
pattern doesn't call for a gus
set and you wish to add one,
mark a diagonal line for a
slash about 312" long. Before
slashing. I feel it is absolutely
necessary to reinforce the
points. This may be done
with ribbon seam binding,
