Sewing Instructions
Tip: Cut pieces made from knit fabrics should be sewn with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim SEAM ALLOWANCES to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
- Reinforce the areas for buttonholes on the hood with FUSIBLE INTERFACING.
- Serge the pocket opening. Fold inwards and topstitch. Serge and fold the top, bottom, and side SEAM ALLOWANCES of the pockets to the wrong side and press. Mark the pocket placement on the FRONT PANEL and topstitch the pocket.
- Stitch the shoulder seams of the hoodie. Press the seams towards the BACK PANEL and serge.
- Insert the ZIPPER from the top down to the NOTCH for the ZIPPER.

Stitch the hood, hoodie, and FACING pieces together with the BIAS BINDING. Fold back the BIAS BINDING and topstitch it onto the hoodie, thereby covering the hood insertion seam.
