French Seam Sleeve with Half Zag Topstitch

If using a slim french seam allowance, it may not be necessary to topstitch all the way around the body armhole.  Since the french seam is already neatly self-covering, topstitching only halfway between armholes around the top of the arm is an alternative method for keeping the french seam towards the body.
