Hello,
I’m working on a Yanaka jacket. Do you have any suggestions for an alteration to help prevent the sleeves from twisting?

Attached are a few pictures of me in a muslin.

(Ignore the writing in the photos. Those are notes to fit the jacket for my mom. The sleeves do not twist for her. :))

Thank you!

Hello! Thanks for your patience as I’ve been traveling. This should be a relatively easy fix. You’ll want to pin out the resulting fold in the fabric and blend the lines to make a smoother sleeve. The result will be sort of like this very crude drawing, with more of a curve to the sleeve. I hope that makes sense?

Your reply makes sense. I’ll give it a try. Thank you!
