The vertical lines (10) of the upper sleeve and the front piece have to meet. The vertical lines of the lower sleeve has to meet the side seam. The vertical line of the lower sleeve has to meet the side seam. The width in between the * * has to be distributed evenly to avoid wrinkles. Pin and stitch sleeves starting from the side of the sleeve. Neaten (serge) seam allowance and iron into the front and back piece. (a)
