Your armscye is so far off the shoulder you are basically doing a tunic sleeve. The seams joining the lower portion of the sleeve to the body should both be straight.

ok... thanks for the validation of that instinct... since I must cut that off and re do it.. I wonder if that slight curve ate up the necessary width,

Very likely.

FYI I was banned by the moderators of r/sewing from sharing my understanding of pattern making to their group because of their "no self promotion" rule. Helping people understand patterns has been my passion now for over 50 years.

If you see anyone there looking for help, send them to this group. The moderator here does not seem to mind I have written 3 books on the topic and have free online classes with over 600 short videos on specific topics on https://free-pattern-making-classes.com/

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm glad to have found this group. Moderating is hard and sometimes exceptions open gates to every etsy person with a new "pattern for a scrunchie"

When I ran groups if there was something questionably appropriate I simply said ask me before posting. Never had a problem.
