The Boheme Fit and Flare - Sleeves / Short Puff Sleeve

The short puff sleeve are pieces 22 and 23

To begin, finish your edges by serging, before running two rows of gathering stitches between the notches on both the upper and lower portion of each pieces.

*Your cuff may need some light interfacing, but that will be dependent on the weight and stability of your fashion fabric.

The cuff (23) has a center notch point and two gathering points.

Gather your threads on the sleeve to fit your cuff notches.

Sew your seam using a 5/8” seam allowance, and press open.

Fold your cuff in half, before pressing a 5/8” seam allowance into one side lengthways.

Sew the cuff together to create a round using a 5/8” seam allowance before matching both the cuff seam and sleeve seam together, pin well.

Join the two together using a 5/8” seam allowance. Trim your seam allowance down to 1/4”

Turn half your cuff into the sleeve, following your pressed line and fold your pre-made seam allowance under before pinning.

Check that your pre-pressed seam allowance on the inside covers your seam line on the outside.

Sew from the outside “in the ditch” using a standard stitch length, catching the seam on the inside - work slowly around the sleeve.

When joining the sleeve to the bodice, some gathering will be needed to match the armseye.
