I marked the dots on the sleeves [PIECE 4] and learned how to make a gathering stitch.

On the sleeve [PIECE 4], I stitched along the seam line and 1/4″ inside the seam line using a long-machine stitch. This is to gather the sleeve between the small dots.
Then I stitched the sleeve seam.
Finally, I stitched the ends of the sleeve ruffle [PIECE 5] together.

I stitched designer hems on both sides of the sleeve ruffle [PIECE 5]. Then I stitched in a GATHERING STITCH in the middle of the piece.

When trying to gather the sleeve ruffles, I noticed that the designer hems were not even, which resulted in certain areas not being stitched down. Additionally, the gathering stitches had snapped and altogether– the sleeve ruffle did not reach my expectations, so I started over.
I cut out new pieces in the pink fabric then marked the 5/8″ hem and pressed them down.
