Rowan Hack Along - Sleeves & side seams
We’re only a few more easy steps away from finishing our hacked Rowan sweaters & dresses! Really, the hard part is already over! You can already see where things are going - you’ve assembled your colorblock and finished your neckband -  and I’m hoping you’re loving your hard work! 

On today's agenda:

  • inserting the sleeves
  • closing the side seam

 

Inserting the sleeves


With the right sides together, line up the raw edges of the sleeves with the armholes of the sweater. If your sleeves have different colors like mine, make sure to line up the right sleeve with the right side! Pin everything in place. Sew the seam using a knit stitch or a small zigzag stitch. Finish the seams with a serger or a big zigzag stitch. Press the seams towards the sleeve.

 


Closing the side seam


With the right sides together, line up the raw edges of the side seams. Pin everything in place. Sew the seams using a knit stitch or a small zigzag stitch. Finish the seams with a serger or a big zigzag stitch. Press the seams towards the back.

 


That’s it for today! You can already start practicing your happy dance, because tomorrow we’re going to finish up by hemming our sweaters! Almost there!

See you tomorrow,
Elles
