Fold the sleeve in half and sew the two sides together. I was using mattress stitch and the same yarn.

To begin insert the needle from the wrong side into the first stitch, then into the other side’s first stitch from the wrong side to the right side. Continue by inserting into the second stitch from the wrong side and then into the other side second stitch from the wrong side to the right side.

Then sew the front and back panels together at the shoulders and sides using the same mattress stitch.

To begin insert the needle from the wrong side into the first stitch, then into the other panel’s first stitch from the wrong side to the right side, continue by inserting into the first panel’s second stitch from the wrong side and then into the other panel’s second stitch from the wrong side. Pin the sleeves to the top and sew them.

Finishing: With yarn needle, weave in all loose ends.
