SEWING TOGETHER

Sewing together

Fold the sleeve so wrong side is outside. The wrong side is determined by the tabs, as there is a ridge of stitches that should be against the body rather than visible. Line up holes along seam, from cuff to armpit. Use a flexible stitch, such as mattress stitch to sew the sleeve together.

Sew in all ends

Thread shoe lace through the tabs and use them to adjust fit.
