And just like that we made it to day 4!Ā Today we sew the shoulder seams, add the set in sleeves and sew the side seam. By the end of today your project will look like a cardigan šĀ When attaching the sleeves it is very important to match the notch to the shoulder seam, pin in place and then match the side seams and pin in place.
TIP: If youāre doing a hemmed sleeve now would be a good time to press your memory hem. This will make it so much easier to hem later on.Ā
The Grandpa Cardi and Cpt. Mack’s Cardigan patterns follow a 1/2ā³ seam allowance so be sure to not deviate from it when you sew the shoulder seams RST or when you attach the sleeves.
