    I do the same thing basically, although, I like using 28guage wire with 26
guage teflon sleeving.  And yes they come seperately...the reason I do it this
way is that for the most part, the wire doen't need to be insulated.  I only put
the insulation on when a wire has to cross over something else (generally, the
longer ones).  I get the sleeving one size bigger because it is easier to get
on, especially with old eyesight ;^)

    I don't have a photo of the back, which may be more instructive...hopefully,
this will give you an idea...
