Spent a whole weekend trying to get a sleeve pattern right

I was making a wool coat and the armhole just would not sit flat, it kept bunching up. I redrew that curve maybe fifteen times over two days before I got it. My friend who sews took one look and said, 'You forgot the back armhole is a different shape than the front.' Has anyone else lost days to a simple drafting mistake like that?

That "different shape" detail is such an easy one to miss. I always have to remind myself to mark the front and back pieces right away. What finally clicked for you to see the problem?

Never had that problem, honestly.
