|
8. The 42 x 60 centimeter piece that was cut out of the sheer fabric for the arms will now be placed over the arm piece. Then glue the sheer fabric onto the arm at the shoulder area to hold it in place. Where you have placed the glue will be the area where you will also glue it to the body so the glue area will not be seen afterwards.
The added sheer fabric gives the arm an elegant look to it.
