@William That’s why you’ll hear a weird muttering from my sewing room from time to time - “ back head wider than front, right side of sleeve, wrong side out garment, notches matched, stitch underarm, ease in crown “.

@William   Once you have the first sleeve in correctly the second one is much easier!

That's because you only have to check it's right side out!

I was cutting the sashing and border for littlest goddaughter's quilt.  I sensibly cut the longest, widest strips first - for the border - and put them on one side.

I have now done all the sashing, and the patterned border, so I reached for the pieces I had set aside.  Yes they were there - I bet you thought I was going to say they'd disappeared!  However, I found that I had cut two of them instead of four, and what's left over of then fabric can't reasonably be made to work.   :facepalm:  Now I have to wait for another 1.5m to be delivered before I can get on with it.  Aaargh!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
