As you might have read in my report on my first Simon, I wanted to experiment with an alternative cuff assembly method, in order to avoid some stressful moments when attaching the sleeves and trying to hide all the open fabric edges in the cuff. Particularly at the edges.
This is my report on investigating and trying the alternative method:
I also tried to document and visualize this method. Please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts!

Experimentation is always a good thing. And there are always many ways to do anything. Never let yourself be restricted by “instructions.” I never follow them. That’s just how the person writing the instructions did it. There are no true rules as long as you like how it looks when done. I say got for it.

Thank you for the encouragement! 
The first time, I did follow the instructions, and I was very happy that they existed and that they were written so well! It worked very well and without those instructions, it would have been much more difficult.
But I also found that if you look closely, off-the-shelf shirts are surprisingly differently assembled – before recycling the fabric of some worn-out garment, it is now becoming my obsession to disassemble the seams to have a look.
