Step 3Making the Sleeves
The sleeves are not seamed up the side like people sleeves are - they're left open at the edges for more freedom of movement. This is a bit clearer in the first picture of step 5.
Because of this, I decided to fold back the edges of the sleeves and hem them. This step is completely optional. Because you're using fleece, the threads won't unravel, so there's no reason to do this step except for personal aesthetic reasons.
From the pictures you can see I folded back the raw edge of three sides of the sleeves, leaving the rounded "cap" part of the sleeve unfinished, and went over the edge with a zig zag stitch.
Next, I pinned the sleeve cap into the armhole openings of the body piece (see pic. 3). I butted the two seamed edges together and eased the rest of the sleeve cap into the armhole. Place the seam opening to face the back of the body.
Sew sleeve into armhole along traced lines.
