I have too-small leggings with zippers at the ankle/calf. I want to cut off the legs and turn them into sleeves, attaching them to an existing garment.

I held the leggings up and used tailor's chalk to mark my shoulder and sketched around my armhole as best as I could. I'd like to make sure when I cut the leggings, both sides come out the same and that they will really fit my armholes. I don't exactly know how to use my Olfa designer curve rule to accomplish this.

When I try to match up the spot that says "underarm" or "shoulder", the curve doesn't come close to matching what I've sketched with chalk.

Would someone please explain how to use this tool. All help greatly appreciated.
