Finishing

Fold sleeves in half, wrong sides together, and sew along the long edge to join. Turn right side out.

Attach Sleeve: With Cardigan wrong side out, lay flat and find the shoulder crease, then mark it with a stitch marker. Insert sleeve (still right side out) into armhole from the inside of the cardigan, so that the seam is facing down and matches up to the space between dcs (where front and back panel split/bottom of armhole) and the top crease of the sleeve matches with the shoulder crease. Optional: place sewing clips at the shoulder crease, sleeve seam, one centered on front panel of armhole and one centered on back panel of armhole to hold the sleeve in place. Sew the sleeve into the armhole. Hide all strings.

Turn cardigan right side out and attach any leather tags or sizing tags!
