The other question is, would it make a difference if you turned the shirt inside out and basically sew the pieces to the inside side. Just thought it might make a smoother looking "lining" as long as there wasn't a lot of printed design on the shirt.
I can't wait to start this project Hey, how about a vest too!
I haven't had a problem with the pieces or the seams, but if your machine doesn't handle layers very well, you might want to watch that.

I don't see why you couldn't use the sweatshirt inside out, especially if it's pilled, that would be a good way to recycle it.
