Step 10Our Robe Needs Arms
Before we attach the sleeves to the body we should clean up the cuff (the part over the wrist). Fold the Edge back once or twice and sew it down. Now the cuff will have a clean finish - i.e. Hem the sleaves..
With the body piece flat face up aline the arm hole of the sleeve with the arm hole of the body piece. An easy method for me is to match up the shoulder seam with the long fold (purple line) of the sleeve piece. See Picture #1 and #2. Tack it down with one or two stitches. Match up the Arm hole lines and sew it down.
Picture #3 is all the sewing we have done so far.

How do you make it so the arm hole doesn't have a raw and ragged edge?

Turn it inside out, fold in the edges by 1/2 inch. Then iron them. If the circle of the cuff is too small to fit around the bottom of the sewing machine you'll have to hand stitch it. This will give it a smooth look.
