Step 12Design variant
The pattern of the sleeve attachment at the bottom has turned out to have three problems.
First it's difficult to fuse this area, second it is uncomfortable and third it's not very strong likely because of the first problem.
To address these issues, I opened the bottom arm hole up with a simple gap of 2 to 3 inches and inserted a strip of fabric that taper to a point in the sleeve. The sketch below gives a clearer image.
You could incorporate this change in your initial design and even have the sleeve seam on the top which would allow you to attach the sleeve to the torso before you fuse the sleeve seam closed. This would allow for easier connection of the pieces with a stronger and more consistent weld, since it can lay flat while you fuse.
