That's how I would do it. That way, you can have selvedges on the cuffs and hem.
I saw a Byzantine (6th century) tunic in Cologne recently that had holes under the armpits, BTW. Simply not sewn up. I guess it allows you to have very tight sleeves without hampering your mobility, and in a hot climate it may have olfactory side benefits.
