Fold a 20" x 20" piece of paper on the diagonal

Create a 17" curve as shown

Cut the pattern in muslin for the sleeve

Place the pattern on folded muslin and cut it to create the peplum

*You're doubling the pattern to create a peplum

Pin the pieces on the jacket to make sure they work and trim if necessary

Place the muslin on the black fabric and cut 2 sleeves and one peplum

Trace a leaf pattern in vertical lines on each piece

Zigzag over the traced leaves with Allure Metallic Jade

Create the leaf veins with Allure Glitter Green Spark

When dry cut around the leave shapes

Pin and glue (or stitch) to the jacket using E-6000 Fabri-Fuse OR a sewing machine
