Two piece sleeves
I have lots of pictures to eventually post about putting together the upper and lower sleeves of Jeff's arming doublet. But I'm pinning the upper and lower sleeves together tonight, and realized something about the order I did it in.
I cut and sewed the upper sleeve, plus all of it's requisite pieces. I quilted it all in one, and sewed it into the tube/funnel.
After finishing that (to the 90% point) I cut, sewed, and quilted the lower sleeve.
If you hate setting in sleeves, don't do it this way! Now, I have to set the lower sleeves into the upper sleeve, and then the whole sleeve into the garment. It took me forEVer to pin.
Instead, I should have not sewn it into the tube first. But rather, attached the top to the bottom, and THEN sewed the whole thing into a tube.
So there you go. Because I'm sure that everybody is going to run out and sew CdB style sleeves next week. :-D
