      SEWING TIPS<\/h3>\n

      This is an intermediate pattern that shows how to sew a <\/span>hood <\/span><\/strong>with a spiky crest, a kangaroo type pocket, cuffs and waistband.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Overlock<\/span><\/strong> or zig-zag stitch the edges of all the pieces to avoid the fabric edges unravelling.
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      If it helps you whilst sewing, you can <\/span>baste<\/span><\/strong> the edges of each seam together first before sewing by machine.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Carefully follow all steps of the instruction with the help of the <\/span>video tutorial,<\/span><\/strong> and you\u2019ll have your sweatshirt and trouser set ready to go before you know it.
