The sleeve patterns are usually so large, at least part of the upper half is off grain. This probably depends more on your fabric. Got enough to try it a couple of different ways?

I never made these before. http://www.deredere.dds.nl/Crossplay/AllanSchezar.jpg<http://www.derederedds.nl/Crossplay/AllanSchezar.jpg> I have pattern 3716 from Butterick. I have light weight cotton and slightly heavier. Normally shirts are from lightweight cotton but I wonder if that would work well with these sleeves. Should I cut the sleeves on the strait or on the cross grain?
