Tutorial, part 6 - Sleeves to Body

Pin the sleeve assembly to the body, matching shoulder point/sleeve and yoke/body seam lines and appropriately placing the shoulder seam. 

Sew the sleeve to the body, using division-color thread for the shoulder point and black for the sleeve. 

Press the armscye seam allowances open using a tailor's ham.







It's at this point you'll be glad you clipped out the yoke/body seam allowances in the key areas to reduce bulk!


The top of the action pleat should meet the yoke exactly at the armscye edge of the yoke/body seam line.
