being a chicken

I am being a complete wuse and not trying on the new sleeves...I think these are version 4? and I'm crazy worried they're going to be way too small. they are the SAME pattern I used for the francaise but they just SEEM smaller..did I add extra when I did those?  don't remember...and I'm not completely out of fabric...

ETA: HA HA! THEY FIT!!!!!!!!! They are somehow smaller than the francaise sleeves, but they also seem to fit just right so I ain't over analyzing. I thought they were going to be way to small when I started to put them on..but in the end everything kind of settled into the right places and the angels sang.

In other news, is it odd that my husband knows how to fit an 18th century sleeve on me? In fairness I now know all the rules of hockey....
