pear neat and trim. In order to simplify the ironing and to let the upper edge of the cuff lap with ease it is necessary to have an opening in the material above the cujff that extends up for a couple of inches.

The quickest and simplest way to make a sleeve of this character is to sew the long seam in the upper portion and then hem the edges of the opening cut in the outside of the sleeve. The cuff is made double and is joined to the upper portion of the sleeve in the same way that the collar is joined to the waist. Any fulness in the upper portion must be gathered so that it is confined between the notches in the cuff, provided for by the pattern. The cuff is finished with a row of stitching placed three-eighths of an inch from the edge all around.

PLACING SLEEVES

When the sleeves of a blouse are completed it is not difficult to place them in the waist if one understands how to go about the work. As a rule, when arranged according to the notches the sleeves will set correctly, but if changes have been made when fitting the waist sometimes it throws the sleeves too far back or front.

To ascertain whether they can be correctly placed without making any change gather the fulness at the top of the sleeves and baste the sleeves in the blouse. Try the waist on and if the set is not entirely satisfactory rip the sleeves out and place them so that the inside seam comes on a line with the thumb when the arm is stretched at full length.
