You’d attach the sleeve as you would normally with the piping cord part on the garment side of the seam allowance. A piping or cording foot works fantastically here! But a zipper foot works just as well. Put the zip foot on so it sits on the “right” of the seam line, on the seam allowance. Sew the sleeve in with stitches right next to the piping (which, again, is on the garment side, or to the left of the zip foot and seam line). If in doubt, pin in the sleeve then hand baste loosely around the seam line to get the idea of where all the layers (including piping) are laying in the seam before final stitching. Good luck!

I’m stuck on figuring that out next.

Yes, you’ll need to apply the velvet pieces by hand. Needling turning the raw edge under is the best way to go. You could also test a Fray-Chek type of product to “seal” the edges to help prevent fraying as you applique the pieces.

Geachte jennifer Rosbrugt
Als ik deze prachtige vichtoriane bustle aanschouw/zie.
Mijn ogen sluit zie mij zelf verschijnen op een vichtorian bal,gekleedt in een van uwe prachtige vichtorianse bustle jurken.
Met het bijpassende vichtoriane tasje erbij,die men om de arm heeft.
Bij elke stap die ik zet hoorde men het getik van het hakje van mijn vichtoriane damesschoentjes wanneer ik een stapje zet tik tik hoorde men dan op de vloer .
Men kon nog nog wat van zien wanneer neusje van mijn damesschoentjes tevoorschijn kwamen onder de onderzijde van de voorzijde van mijn vichtoriane bustle dres wanneer ik een stapje zet.
