Place the back and front on top of each other with the good sides toghether.
Align the shoulder seam, and sew/serge it at the standard seam allowance.
Repeat for the other shoulder seam.
Step 2: Set in the sleeves
Place your now attached front and back with the good side up.
Place a sleeve on top if it with the good side down
Align the top of the sleevecap with the shoulder seam, your sleeve should lie over your front/back extending to the other shoulder seam
Pin sleeve in place along the entire armhole. There's a bit of sleevecap ease, which means that the sleevehead is slightly longer than the armhole. Ease this in the top part of the sleeve head while pinning.
Sew/serge your pinned sleeve in place
Repeat for the other sleeve
Step 3: Finish the neck binding
Measure the length of the neck opening
Cut a piece of ribbing that is this length and 6cm/2.5inch wide
Fold the ribbing double with the good side outward, and pin it to your neckopening starting from the back
The cut off side of your ribbing should align with the edge of your neck opening, while the ribbing extends over your sweatshirt
Pin the ribbing in place around the neck opening, starting at the back and stretching it gently as you do so
First, join the ribbing at center back, with good sides together. As you've been stretching the ribbing as you were pinning it, it will be too long. Simply cut that away
Then, sew the ribbing to the neck opening
Step 4: Close the side seams and sleeves
Fold Sven double at the shoulder seams with good sides together
Align the side seams and sleeves and pin them together
Now, sew the side seam and continue sewing to close the arms all the way to the cuff
Repeat on the other side
Step 5: Attach the cuffs
Measure the width of the sleeve at the cuff
Cut a piece of ribbing that is (twice this length - 2cm/1inch) and 7cm/3inch wide
Fold the ribbing double along the longest side, and sew together the edge so you have a continous ring
Turn your Sven inside-out
Fold the ribbing ring with the good side outwards, and slip the folded side into your inside/out Sven sleeve
Align the cut off side of the ribbing with the edge of the sleeve and pin it in place. The ribbing is a bit shorter, so stretch it a bit while pinning to work this into the sleeve.
Now, sew/serge the ribbing to the sleeve
Repeat for the other cuff
Step 6: Attach the hem
Do for the hem as your did for the cuffs
Measure the width of Sven at the hem
Cut a piece of ribbing that 1.9 times this length and 7cm/3inch wide
You may need to attach different pieces if your ribbing fabric isn't wide enough
Fold the ribbing double along the longest side, and sew together the edge so you have a continous ring
Turn your Sven inside-out
Fold the ribbing ring with the good side outwards, and slip the folded side into your inside/out Sven body
Align the cut off side of the ribbing with the edge of the body and pin it in place. The ribbing is a bit shorter, so stretch it a bit while pinning to work this into the body.
