Instructions for the lined sleeves (attach sleeves after neck and shoulder, but before side seams):
1. Cut out one fabric and one lining. Add piping to outer edge of right side of fabric edge if desired.
2. Sandwich fabric, piping, and lining, rst. Stitch along outer edge. Turn and check piping... I always have to make another pass.
3. Gather raw edges of sleeve fabric and lining, then stitch sleeve (lining and fabric) to shoulder seam, being careful not to catch lining of bodice.
4. Align armhole fabric and lining RST with the sleeve INSIDE of the shoulder - lining stuff is always sooo weird!
5. Stitch armhole seam, then pull fabric through. Voila! Repeat for other arm.

That sleeve sounds so easy -- I was just looking at "how did you get that piping on there" and then scrolled down...you sure are good at all of that classic looking smocking...Nice work Tracy
Thanks, Jnet! I learned from the Master!
I am impressed, too. The smocking looks professional. I am amazed that human hands can do that! I miss you!

Well, hi, Jess! No different than suturing... at least fabric doesn't spontaneously start bleeding. And when I get tired, I can stop! You, my dear, must press on! No comparison... you got the short end of the stick!! Miss you, too!
