from the outer end of the right shoulder
seam, to mark the armhole. Also place a
marker 10
"
below the left shoulder seam
on the front. Mark the back in the same
manner. With the
wrong sides
together,
sew the front and back together at the
side seams.
Fold a sleeve in half along its length,
with the
right sides
together, aligning the
underarm edges. Sew these edges together
to make the underarm seam. Turn the
sleeve right side out. Slide the sleeve into
the body until it’s at an armhole. Align
the underarm and side seams, and match
the edge of the sleeve with the edge of the
armhole. Sew the edges together. Continue
across shoulder seams to neck opening.
Beginning at one of the shoulder seams
and sewing on the wrong side, join the
neck band to the front and rear pieces
and seam the neck band together.
Hand wash gentle in cold water
and block.
