How Many Sleeves?

The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
