Sweatshirt jacket w/o cutting off ribbing?
#1
All the converted sweatshirt jacket patterns that I've seen all cut off the ribbings.
I happen to like the ribbings.
Does anyone leave them on when they make these?
I've never made any yet but I'm gearing up to make a few for fall and I guess I'm wanting reassurance. :-)

I made one for my MIL and I took the sleeves off and then serged them back on when I had the quilted part done and I don't see any reason you couldn't do the same thing with the ribbings. Be sure you are using a sweatshirt one size too large if you use this method because it does get smaller when you put it all back together.

The choice if yours. In fact we were talking about ths yesterday, my friend used to teach sweatshirt classes,
She said which ever suits your taste if OK. She alwasy leaves ribbing on hers as she is tall.

I hadn't even thought of just doing the front and back and leaving the sleeves alone. Like it! I think I'll try that.
Thanks
