Now that was a clever idea, Looks great to. I notice on the shoulder seam that you did the back to. Wow how thoughtful of you. Great. Theresse

Yes I did do the back, I just took the sweatshirt apart at the seams after I took the sleeves out and cut my fabric to cover the front and back pieces, did SID on the fabric to "quilt" it and then put it back together. I have a serger so it makes a great job of reassembling the sweatshirt.

Yes, stitch and flip would work too. I was trying to keep my seam allowances to a minimum because MIL doesn't like too much "bulk" on the inside of her clothing, it seems to bother her.
