Fuse lightweight interfacing to the sleeve stripe (piece P).
Cut four strips of your ⅛" twisted/braided metallic gold piping slightly longer than the long edge of your sleeve stripes (¼" to ½" overhanging each end).
Using your zipper/piping foot, sew the piping to the sleeve stripe 1" from the long edge, stitching close to piping.
Cut off excess piping at ends and liberally apply liquid fray preventer.
Repeat for the other side of the sleeve stripe.
Repeat for the other sleeve stripe.
Using your regular sewing foot, stitch the cord to the sleeve stripe to prevent it from curling.
Place the sleeve stripe (piece P) on the bottom edge of the upper sleeve (piece O), right sides together and edges flush.
Using your zipper/piping foot, sew the sleeve stripe to the bottom of the upper sleeve, with 1" seam allowance (ideally stitching over the previous stitch line).
Turn the sleeve stripe downward (away from the sleeve) and press the seam allowance downward.
Sew the lower sleeve (piece Q) to the sleeve facing (also piece Q) along one long edge, right sides together.
Serge seam allowances.
Turn the assembly right sides out and press.
Unfold the two layers for now.
Using your zipper/piping foot, sew one edge the lower sleeve/facing assembly to the bottom of the upper sleeve assembly, with 1" seam allowance (again, ideally stitching over the previous stitch line).
Turn the sleeve bottom/facing downward and press the seam allowance upward.
The edges of the sleeve stripe seam allowances should be flush. If there's any excess, cut it off.
OPTIONAL: Serge the sleeve stripe seam allowances.
The underside of your bottom of your sleeve should look like this:
Hand sew the sleeve stripe seam allowances together.
Sew or baste the sleeve stripe and its seam allowances together within the sleeve seam allowance.
Serge edges of sleeve.
Your sleeve should now look like this:
Repeat for other sleeve.
