I claim:
1. A method of making a sleeve member comprising the steps of:
- (a) disposing a plurality of superposed sheets of fabric material upon a front section of an external sheet, each sheet of said plurality of sheets and said external sheet having an exterior surface and an interior surface, said plurality of sheets being orientated such that their exterior surfaces face the interior surface of said external sheet;
- (b) fastening one edge of an internal sheet to a rear section of said external sheet in opposing relation to said plurality of sheets, said internal sheet having an exterior surface and an interior surface and being in a first position such that its interior surface faces said interior surface of said external sheet;
- (c) pivoting said internal sheet about its fastened edge from said first position to a second position, whereby said internal sheet is substantially superposed upon said plurality of sheets and its exterior surface is facing said interior surface of said external sheet;
- (d) fastening a first base portion of said internal sheet and a base portion of each of the sheets of said plurality of sheets to said front section of said external sheet;
- (e) folding said front section of said external sheet such that its exterior surface is substantially enclosed;
- (f) seaming the folded edges of said front section such as to produce an external envelope having an interior surface exposed;
- (g) pushing said external envelope inside-out such that an exterior surface is exposed;
- (h) folding, seaming and pushing inside-out each sheet of said plurality of sheets in the same manner as said front section, such as to produce a plurality of envelopes, one inside the other, and all of said plurality of envelopes inside said external envelope, each of said envelopes being in concentric relation to the other;
- (i) folding said internal sheet such that its interior surface is substantially enclosed;
- (j) seaming the folded edges of said internal sheet such as to produce an internal envelope having an exterior surface exposed;
- (k) pivoting said internal envelope about said first base portion such as to align said internal envelope with said concentrically disposed envelopes; and
- (l) tucking said internal envelope inside the innermost envelope of said concentrically disposed envelopes.
