Me again... great idea to make slits at the side seam. My hoodie was way too roomy on the sides, so I took it in but then the back was too long to sew to the front at the hem. I was dreading having to rip out the entire hem, but thanks to your inspiration, I'm just going to make slits. Yay!!!

I made the applique by cutting a circle (approx 8 inch diameter) and pinning it on the hoodie. Using the "sewing with knits" instructions from Meg, and starting from the center of the applique, I stitched a flower-like swirl pattern. (I sewed this free-hand, kind of like drawing with the sewing machine...but you could probably use chalk to mark you design.) Then I cut away the fleece applique close to the stitching (approx 1/4 inch or less). Easy!

You are one smart, creative lady. Do you mind if I try this when I get to my hoodie?
