This time I took the form I made for weaving the body section and added cardboard caps for the shoulders and a drinks bottle rammed into the top of the sleeve. A strip of cardboard wrapped around the bottle with wedges of folded cardboard inserted inside it filled it out to the right size. I re-tied the tourniquets around the sleeves. I pinned the loomskin firmly in place top and bottom across the front and back. This held well enough to weave this section.
This section was complete when the weft threads met under the sleeve.
Then I did a row of hem stitching to stabilize the edge of the weaving on the sleeve.
