Sleeves on the Tania Coatigan

[elmimi]

I am making the Tania Coatigan and trying to figure out what to do with the sleeves. I noticed that the sleeve cap curve is the same in the front and back and it's sewn in flat. I want to move the shoulder point forward by a half-inch but I am not sure how to adjust the sleeve cap.

I have looked at a lot of reviews online and many people mention doing a forward shoulder adjustment. But I have not found any discussions about what to do to the sleeve cap. I am a visual learner and am trying to find pictures of this kind of adjustment for a flat sleeve. I do not think I am using the right words to search. Does anyone know how to do this or are there any good tutorials or photos out there that can help me? I appreciate the help.

Try searching for forward shoulder sleeve cap adjustment or sleeve head shift, try finding diagrams or you use youtube

You don't really have to redraw the whole cap. Most folks just rotate the cap slightly forward to match the new seam. Basically, extend the front curve a smidge and trim the back. Nothing fancy, but it makes the sleeve sit better on the body.
