Fused Plastic Rain Coat

Step 6 Fuse Sleeves to Torso

This step will combine the sleeves and torso pieces to form the jacket.

Fold the torso inside out with the sleeve hole at the fold.
Put the sleeve inside the torso and line up the seams. The outside of the fabric for torso and the sleeves should be facing each other at this point.

Carefully pull the front out of the way and again using our simple paper guide carefully fuse the back sleeve edge to the torso.

Flip the entire jacket and fuse the font sleeve edge to the torso, carefully maintaining the seam allowance and not disturbing the back edge, which is carefully pulled out of the way.

Repeat with the opposite sleeve.

Optional Step.
Open the jacked up and fold the seam pointing into the sleeve and carefully fuse the seam to the sleeve. You can cut a thin single or double layer strip and apply it over the seam before fusing as it can be difficult to get the 7 layers of the seam to fuse with the 4 layers of the sleeve. This will cover the rough and potentially sharp edge that may result.
