The edge seam was then sewn.

Both sleeves, with the edge seam sewn…

The seams were first pressed flat.

Both sleeves with the inside seams pressed…

Then, those seams need to be pressed flat again. So to help keep them crisp, I pin them in place first, and then iron them flat…

The batting is cut along the edge so it matches…

Then, the batting is inserted and pinned along the edge to make sure it stays in place…

The center stitch line done…

Cutting the batting for the second sleeve…

The center stitch line pinned…

The center stitch line, done…

And, finally, all of the ribs done on the second sleeve…
