Welcome to the final post for the Pacific Pullover Sewalong!! Today is Day 4, and we will be covering steps 22 through 31 in the pattern. Today has three basic tasks: Sew Sleeves (or Sleeveless) , Side seams, and hems.

If you are just now joining me and want to catch up, here is the schedule with the posts linked for each day:

Day 0 – Preparation – Getting Your Pattern, Fabric, and Supplies

Day 1 – Let’s Get Started – Print Your Pattern and Cut Out Your Fabric

Day 2 – Pockets, Princess Seams, and Shoulder Seams

Day 3 – Sew Hoods, Collars, or Neckbands

Day 4 – YOU ARE HERE – Sleeves, Side Seams, and Hems

Day 5 – Catch Up Day, Grab a Photo of What you Made!

I have three video options for you to watch today that cover some of the options available.

(1) The video for a sleeveless facing can be watched HERE.

(2) You can watch the video showing how to sew the 2-piece sleeve and hem the sleeves and bottom of the pullover HERE.

(3) Finally, I have a video showing how to sew the 2-piece sleeve, sew sleeve cuffs, and sew a bottom band. You can find that video HERE.

Of course, you can mix and match the options above if you want. You can have sleeve cuffs with a bottom hem, or you can have a bottom band with hems sleeved. You can also hem or band your sleeveless pullover.

The options that I have not covered are:

(1) Thumbhole Cuffs. Angelyn has done a video on thumbhole cuffs that you can watch HERE. The pattern also explains that to do the thumbhole cuff, you need to extend the height of the cuff 2.5 inches. You can find this on page 17 of the pattern, variation 1.

(2) Sleeveless with Bands. To do the bands on the armholes instead of a sleeve facing, grab your tape measure. Measure the entire armscye. Then, multiply that number by .85. Add .5 inches to that number (if you use a 1/4 inch seam allowance to sew the band together, otherwise add .75 if you use a 3/8 inch seam allowance). This will give you the length of your band. Make your width the same size as the neckband width. You will apply your band the same way that you would the neckband. The video for applying the neckband can be watched HERE.
