Burda Style For people who sew

Sleeve cuff
Close the cuff, making a circle (seam 8). Press allowances apart. Fold half of the cuff along the FOLD LINE, inside out. Pin open edges on top of each other. ©

To support the bottom sleeve edge stitch twice and parallel using a large stitch. Tighten underthread to the
width of the cuff. Knot threads. Space out the width evenly. (d)

Baste the cuff onto the bottom sleeve edge (seam 9), right sides facing; the seam s will meet the front sleeve

seam. Stitch sleeve cuffs using a level opposed zigzag stitch or an elastic stitch (e)

Apply sleeves
To support the sleeve rounding tighten the underthreads of the seams slightly.

Pin the sleeves onto the armhole facing right to the right. 4 points are essential for the fit of the sweater when
you apply the sleeves:
= the cross lines 7 of the top sleeve and the front piece have to meet. The cross line of the bottom sleeve has to
meet the side seams. The cross line of the sleeve rounding has to meet the shoulder seam. The supporting width of
the sleeve between ● and ● has to be spaced out to prevent pleats. Baste and stitch the sleeve from the view
of the sleeve side. Trim allowances, neaten and press inwards into the sleeve. (f)
