    Sleeves on t-shirts are sewn in "in the flat"…. while the shoulder seam is sewn, but the side seam isn’t.

    Sew one shoulder seam
    Sew neck ribbing
    Sew second shoulder seam and close neck ribbing
    Match notches of sleeve to notches of armscye and sew sleeves in.
    Sew underarm seam from sleeve hem to armpit and then on down to the hem of the shirt
    Sew hems.
    Done.
