Today’s task is quick and easy. If you followed along with last week’s Charlie Tee Sew-Along at Pattern Revolution, it’ll be even easier! We’re going to add the sleeves to our hoodies.
Grab those sleeves and fold them in half to find the center of the curved edge. You can mark this with a disappearing or washable marker. I just press down there with my iron to mark the center.
Match that center mark on one of the sleeves with one shoulder seam and pin in place with the right sides together.
Pin each end of the sleeve to the ends of the sleeve curve.
Ease the rest of the sleeve around the curve and pin it into place. You may have to stretch the sleeve a tiny bit to get it to go in nicely. Repeat with the other sleeve. Sew or serge in the sleeves. I prefer to sew on the sleeve side when I’m sewing knits so that I can make sure the curve of the sleeve falls nicely into the curve on the shirt.
Flip your hoodie right-side out and see what you think so far! We’re going to finish up tomorrow by sewing up the sides and adding the waist- and arm-bands.
