Drafting a sleeve pattern where to start?

I've only been sewing garments for a couple of months. I need to draft a sleeve pattern for a regency dress. Is there anywhere which shows the shape of a sleeve 'flat' and then how it will look when sewn up? So I can make a sleeve with the shape I want? ------ 'The purpose of most fashion is to be ostentatiously non-functional.'

Raising or flattening the sleeve cap is quite easy. Sew a muslin before using the fashion fabric to check the fit and the style.
