Cut a strip of fabric 36” long and 6.5” wide mark lines 0.25”, 2.75”, 3.75”, and 6.25” inches from one long end.

Cut an additional piece of fabric measuring 36” x 7.25” and one piece measuring 40” x 6”.

 

Stack the 36’’ x 7.25’’ piece of material beneath the marked piece of fabric. There should be roughly half an inch of extra fabric on the top and bottom. Secure using staples or pins. Sew on the lines.
Mark the center line of the 40” piece of fabric and mark lines 2.5’’ above and below the center line.
Place the piece marked side down on the sleeve in progress.
Sew two lines approximately two inches from each end of the sleeve (one side is pictured). The first line should be about an inch long, the second should be about 6 inches long. Leave about half an inch in between the two lines.
Fold the top layer of fabric over and sew it on the marked line.
Cut about an inch and a half down the center of the bottom layer.
Trim the rough edges, remove the staples and secure the ends of the stitches with a drop of superglue.
