Fix a Shirt Cuff

This delicate fabric began to fray where the sleeve met the cuff.  It's a very simple fix which doesn't require much time...
The fabric was fraying and tore away from the cuff seam.

Cut enough of the stitching around the cuff area to be repaired.

Open the cuff pieces and place the material inside enough to wear it won't fray again.  (Approximately 1/4")

Add the top layer of the cuff in place and pin it. Make sure that the transition is gradual and there aren't any unflattering gathers.

Topstitch in place where the previous stitching was. Make sure that you catch both layers (front and back) of the cuff.
