Oh Minerva...how....why?


I am a little bit obsessive sometimes.  It tends to be a detail on a costume that I really can’t work out and then I spend hours looking for images on Google to figure out how it is done. 
This obsessiveness has reared its ugly head with those pointy bits on the top of Minerva’s sleeves.  I have looked at many pictures and I can’t see a seam, yet I cannot figure out how on earth you could have that there without one!

What I want to say is ‘oh come on woman, it really doesn’t matter, it is just for World Book Day not a competition’, but what actually is going through my mind is ‘how did they do that?’ and I just can’t let it go!

I have made a couple of toile’s of sleeves to see if I can figure it out that way...nope.  I have gone over and over in my head and searched for a picture of that sleeve that means I can actually see if there is a seam in it.  It’s annoying me now.  So if there is anybody out there that can either tell me how you do it without a seam, or that there is categorically a seam in it, please let me know before I drive myself (and my husband) insane.
