Burda Style For people who sew

SLEEVES WITH CUFFS
Position the undersleeve on the upper sleeve, right sides facing. Pin the back seam (seam 11) and stitch. Press allowances apart (a).

Double stitch the sleeve curve from * to * narrowly using basting stitches. Fold the sleeves lengthwise, stitch the front sleeve seams (seam 12). Press allowances apart (b).

CUFFS
Fold the CUFFS along the fold line, right sides facing. Stitch the short edges. Trim allowances. Turn cuffs. Pin the edges, press and topstitch ¼“ (0.7 cm) wide. Work BUTTONHOLE into the cuffs. Meeting the marked line, position the edges together: one with buttonhole, the other without ©.

Pin the cuffs onto the bottom sleeve edge, right sides facing (seam 13), then stitch. Press allowances inside the sleeve (d).

APPLY SLEEVE Tighten the bobbin threads along the sleeve curve slightly in a way that does not create pleats or puckers.

Position the sleeves onto the armhole, right sides facing. When applying, 4 points are important for the right “fit’: the cross lines (14) on the upper sleeve and front piece have to meet. The cross line of the undersleeve has to meet the side seam. The cross line of the sleeve curve has to meet the shoulder seam. The gathered width between * and * has to be distributed without creating pleats or puckers. Pin the sleeve on the sleeve side, then stitch. Press allowances inside the sleeve (e).
