sweatshirts pulls towards the back

18 years ago

Can anyone tell me why every sweatshirt I make using Kwik Sew's #3344, the front neckline pulls across my throat. It feels like the whole shirt is trying to slid off me backwards. This pattern has raglan sleeves! I can fix this problem to some extent if its a regular sleeve but how do I stop this with raglan sleeves? Any info would be helpful!

Sounds like you have it on backwards! Turn it around.

It could be a number of things, do you have a round back, forward shoulders, or a full bust? My best guess would be you need a high round back adjustment. The back neckline is falling below the roundness at your high back pulling the front neckline back. You might consider finding the book Fit for Real People by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto, it discusses alterations for all kinds of bodies, and they show how to do the adjustments on raglan sleeves too.

Hope this helps a little....
