To make the job easier, use a sewing machine. If you don’t have one, ask a friend or relative if you can borrow theirs.
Make sure that the needle is long enough to go through all the layers of fabric. A bigger needle will make it easier to sew through multiple layers of fabric.
Choose a thread that is strong and durable. Polyester thread is a good option because it is strong and won’t break easily.
After you have sewn the sides of the jersey together, turn it inside out so that the seam is on the inside.

If the jersey is too big, there are a few ways that you can shrink it.
1. Fill your sink with hot water. The hotter the water, the more effective it will be.
2. Add a cup of salt to the hot water. This will help to set the colors in the jersey and prevent them from bleeding.
3. Submerge the jersey in the hot water and let it soak for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the jersey from the water and put it in the dryer on high heat. If you do not have a dryer, you can lay the jersey out flat to air dry.
