Ok, here's the sleeves and the back....

Ok, here's your sleeve.
Lay it out, making sure you have it flat. It's going to go together pretty much like the front.

Take your sleeve and fold it in half. Give it an iron so you have a crease and you have your middle.

Now, lay a strip down the crease so that half is on the sleeve and half is not. Give it a pin here and there to hold it on.

Unfold it and lay it flat again.
Lay your next strip next to the one you just pinned. Either side is fine, doesn't matter.

Sew it down just like you did when you were doing the front piece.
Now, continue on until you are almost done
See the little edge that shows? Well, don't worry about wasting a strip for it, just use your little pieces that you had leftover from cutting or that you took off of the longer strips.

Now, turn it over like you did the front piece and trim it all around.

Now you have a sleeve done! Repeat with the other sleeve!

Now for the back......

Lay your back out, fold it in half like you did the sleeve, crease it and do pretty much the same thing you did for the sleeve.

Sew the same, either side first, just like the sleeve.

See the edges showing? Just like the front and sleeve...use the leftover pieces to cover.

Now, it's done.
Just turn it over, just like the sleeve and front, trim it up and your back is now done!!

If you want to put a label on it, I suggest you do that BEFORE you start sewing strips.
