[Loch-Ruadh] Need advice on making German sleeves

[Julie Self]

It's a pain in the b---, but the way I learned is to put a facing around 
where each slash should be, sewn on the outside, then cut the slash and turn 
the facing to the inside, press it in place and tack it down.  The method is 
similar to making a french buttonhole.

Beam me sideways, Scottie. These people don't know which way is up!
