5. 

   Swap the sleeves so that red is with black and black is with red.

6. 

   Turn the shirt half you are working on inside out and place the sleeve, right side out inside the
   sleeve hole (right sides will be together), matching the top and bottom creases.
   
   

7. 

   Pin the sleeve in place, being careful not to stretch the fabric.
   
   Using a stretch stitch on your sewing machine, stitch in a 1/4" to 1/2" seam all the way
   around. If stitching by hand, take small stitches.
   
   Repeat for the other sleeve.

8. 

   Shirt Body Reconstruction:
   
   Place one shirt inside the other, right sides together so that the wrong sides of the seam lines
   will be on the outside. You will have two seams, a front and a back.
   
   

9. 

   Carefully pin starting at the t-shirt ribbing and work your way down, trying not to stretch the
   fabric.
   
   If the bottoms hems do not meet, pin the bottom edges together and ease along the middle of the shirt.
   
   Carefully stitch along this line as for the sleeves.
   
   Snip the corners of the inside seams on the diagonal.
   
   Turn the shirt right side out.
