Yousewsmart's story of cutting out two left sleeves is a little like my heartbreaking story. I love to make shirts for my husband. I had cut one from a beautiful piece of a plaid homespun, and put the sleeve plackets on so that I had two sleeves for the same arm -- the fabric is the same on both sides. Instead of trying to redo it, I bought another sleeve length -- thank goodness there was still some at the shop -- and started over. I now take great care to mark the wrong side of each pattern piece after cutting and before unpinning the pattern. On the sleeves, I mark the wrong side at the sleeve cap and at the lower edge, just to make sure!
