How to Sew a Boxy Structured-Shoulder Sweater
How do you sew a sweater with structured shoulders?
('Why a structured shoulder', 'A broad, architectural shoulder seam is one of the strongest fall silhouette trends right now -- it changes the whole line of a sweater without needing any tailoring experience.')
('Materials', 'A stable knit or ponte fabric (something with body, not a soft jersey), plus a strip of knit interfacing to stabilize the shoulder seam so it holds its structured line.')
('Construction overview', 'The shoulder seam is extended and interfaced before the dropped sleeve is set in, which is what gives the finished sweater its boxy, structured silhouette instead of a normal fitted shoulder.')
