Cuff processing 1

There are two ways to sew a cuff. The first is the simpler option, where you topstitch the cuff all the way around, close to the edge. However, if you don't want any stitching on your cuff and you're a sewing pro, then try the second option.

Option 1: Iron the lower cut edge of the inner cuff 1cm…

...and sew the raw edge of the outer cuff to the prepared sleeve. Sew up to the notch of the underlap. The photos above are of the right arm for orientation; a cuff can always be opened at the back when worn.

Next, the cuff is placed, right sides together, against the fold, and the corners of the upper and lower flaps are stitched. For curves and corners, the seam allowances are trimmed with scissors and snipped or cut. This prevents the corners from becoming too thick when turned, and the seam allowances can be laid flat. It's especially important that the seam isn't cut. Therefore, we recommend sewing just before the point and away from it with a shorter stitch length. This guarantees a corner that won't fray as quickly after trimming.

After turning the fabric inside out, shape the corners with a corner and edge former and then iron them. Finally, sew the previously ironed raw edge of the inner cuff in place by topstitching the entire cuff from the outside (right side of the fabric) around the edge.

Have lots of fun with it!
