Sweatshirt Insert - How To
Step One:
I copy my pattern, I place the insert 1/2" below the armhole, then add 3/8" for a seam allowance. This way I don't have to replan with every sweatshirt. Then I make a pattern of the bottom section and add 3/8" seam allowance.
Step Two:
Add piping to your top piece.
Step Three:
Center insert and measure amount you will need on both sides for wings. I need four inches on each side plus seam allowance, so I will cut my wings six inches, I can always trim later.
Step Four:
Stich extensions to insert.
Stitch smocked insert to yoke(sweatshirt top)
Step Five:
Stitch piping to bottom section and then sew the bottom section to the insert.
