This page shows the process of attaching the finished sleeves. The process of making sleeves is How to sew sleeves and sleeve cuffs for more information.

The part of the body where the sleeves are attached is called the "armhole" and the sleeve side is called the "cap center.

Both are curved and therefore difficult to sew together, but like the collar, it is a surprisingly noticeable part when worn.

Let's take our time and finish slowly and unhurriedly.

In the photo, the left sleeve is sewn to the body.

The left rear sleeve is the side that can be seen in the photo.

The side with the cap center concave will be the front side.

Sew it to the "armhole" on the front.

Many beginners are not sure which sleeve is which,Please proceed by placing them in the same way as shown in the photo and checking them as you go.

Fold the sleeve in half and place a notch mark in the center of the sleeve pile with a marking pin.

Align the underarms of the body and sleeve sides as shown in the photo.

Fasten firmly with marking pins to prevent shifting.

Next, align the center of the sleeve pile and shoulders with the center of the sewn shoulder tips.

Please make sure to fasten the needle firmly so that it does not fall out.

Fasten from the lower sleeve side with marking pins.

Do not pull too tight, Do not pull too tight or too loose.

The sleeve pile portion has a rounded curve, making it very difficult to match the almost straight armholes of the shoulder tip portion.

Little by little, the seam allowance of the cap center is loosened while matching.

However, it is only the seam allowance that should have slack.

If the slack is allowed to reach the sewing position, it will bite the fabric in the cap center area when sewing with a sewing machine.

After all marking pins are fastened, sew.

The first backstitch is not needed because it goes around and comes back to the beginning of the stitch.

Finally, sew a backstitch.The photo shows sewing with black thread for clarity, but originally, thread of the same color as the fabric should be used.

Serge/overlock the seam allowance. Serge/overlock is done as follows How to Serge/overlock (sewing machine & overlock sewing machine) for more information.

Finished sewing the sleeves.I haven't ironed them yet, so they are a bit shabby.

Ironing the armholes is a pain, but let's try one more step!

Use an ironing board for sleeves to avoid strange ironing wrinkles on the body and sleeves.

This completes the process.
