Sleeves
Place the pleats at the arm base coming from the right side of the sleeve, pin. (a)

Fold sleeves lengthwise, right sides facing. Pin sleeve seams. Stitch, leaving a 1.5 cm stretch of the seam open below the seam line, to facilitate adding the elastic band later. (b)

Fold apart and iron seam allowances and de-baste. Fold over to the inside and iron the seam allowance of the bottom sleeve edge, stitch neatly. Cut the elastic band into two equal parts. Draw the elastic band into the lower sleeve edge, using a safety pin. Sow the ends of the elastic band onto each other ©.
