Tutorial: Color blocked cap sleeves

An from Straight Grain shares a tutorial showing how she made the color blocked cap sleeves on a dress she made for her I [heart] Marcel Marlier series. It looks like it would be a simple straight seam to join the two colors, but actually it’s a curved seam that looks straight when the sleeve is set into the bodice. Her tutorial shows how to create the right curve so it looks straight when sewn together.
