Tutorial, part 7 - Sleeves and Close Sides

Sew the sleeve (piece C) to the body assembly, right sides facing, matching edges and sleeve center with shoulder seam. (The sleeve is symmetrical, so either sleeve piece will do; there isn't a specific front or back). 

Serge the seam allowances.



Repeat for the other side.


Sew the sleeve and body side seam closed in one continuous stitch, right sides facing, matching edges and sleeve/body seam lines. 

Serge the seam allowances and press them toward the back. 

Repeat for the other side.



Serge the bottom edges of the sleeve. 

Turn the sleeve's 1" hem allowance upward and press. 

Hem the sleeve by stitching close to the edge through both layers from the wrong side.



Repeat for the other side.
