Assembling the Three-Piece Sleeves


The three-piece sleeves are cut to naturally curve with the arm.  Pictured here is the back sleeve, under sleeve, and front sleeve.  Once joined the sleeve fabric and lining are quilted.  The sleeve upper seam is joined, the lining seam is joined, and the sleeve is attached to the body.  The sleeve lining is then hand sewn to the body lining
