- Sleeves with CUFFs. On each SLEEVE, make a slit and lay it out flat.

- Press the BIAS BINDING onto the slit over the stitching line, turn under to a width of 0.? cm and stitch over the stitching line.
- From the wrong side of the SLEEVE, stitch both halves of the edge at the upper end of the slit diagonally.
- Turn the edge of the front slit to the wrong side and baste to the lower edge of the SLEEVE.
- Complete the SLEEVE seam.
