How to assemble the sleeve with the jinbei.
Match sleeve top [green] and shoulder top [red]
Make a mark with a fabric marker.
Make another mark on shoulder top.
Match both marks.
Match also marks on edges
Sew between the top and the bottom marks
Open sleeves, then open seam allowances on right and left, and iron.
Press seam allowances with iron
Iron also non sewed down parts
How to attach inside sleeves
Here is the outside sleeve
Open the sleeve
Attach inside sleeve to the outside sleeve’s seam allowance.
Overturn outside sleeve below jinbei main part so as to see seam allowance.
Sew the inside sleeve on this seam allowance only.
Match inside sleeve with top sleeve mark.
Attach corresponding marks with pins.
Sew the outside of inside sleeve on the inside of outside sleeve (see video !!)
Opening of the sleeve bottom
Start sewing a little lower than the opening of the sleeve bottom
Stop sewing to a little above of the opening (mark)
Don’t forget backstitching
The sleeve is now attached
When overturning the sleeve, make sure to perfectly center it.
Let’s sew the bottom of the outside sleeve
Overturn sleeves and main part.
Match both bottom edges of the sleeve
Sew this part

Let’s sew the bottom of the sleeve
Let’s sew the edges
You don’t have to start sewing from the top, so you can chose which part to start with
Don’t forget the backstitching
Sew to the sleeve opening
There may not be a sleeve opening, depending on the design
Let’s sew the sleeves’ edges
Open and flatten the seam allowance
Let’s sew the sleeve openings
Open the jinbei wide, so as not to sew any extra fabric with it
Flatten the folds you ironed earlier
Sew around the opening in once.
While changing orientation, move the fabric around the pinned needle.
As it needs to be resistant, backstitch on the edges of the opening.
The sides are now finished
Downside, fold in three to sew the hem
