Fisrt, I sewed the raw edge of the patch (the side where I cut the pocket in half) into the inside seam of the sleeve and sewed all around the patch (when I have finished, the inside seams will be covered again with the lining of the sleeve).



Then, I had to sew up the seam again. This was a bit challenging, as there is a liner, and I'm trying to sew from the inside, so the seam is hidden. This involves turning the sleeve inside-out and sewing up the seam, making sure to catch the pach in it. I tried to take a picture, but I'm not sure how illustrative this is.



But, it worked! Here's the finished sleeve (still needs a blind hem, which will happen later).



Next, I am going to prep the epaulettes (sp?) and sew the bottom edge of the jacket...
