I’m just getting started cutting out the pieces for my Kinsman kit, and being a taller person, need to add some length to the sleeves (adding length to the body was easy with the already provided cut lines).  I was thinking I would cut the sleeve pattern, add about 2 inches to the overall length (similar to the body block), and then add new side lines to form a trapezoid similar to the original.  The overall effect would be like if I was able to magically stretch the sleeve pattern. I’m new at this so any thoughts, opinions, or advice would be great!

Thanks,
Gus
