Excellent tutorial on inserting a shoulder pad. I’ll try it today on a sweater jacket that needs a shoulder lift. Thank you.

Thank you very very much for the tutorial. I initially put it on backwards and then after watching your video; I have to undo and follow your instructions. I was so stressed out but the calming of your voice and the detailed explanations helped calm Mee down some. I can not thank you enough. Like 👍 ❤❤❤

Very informative however I do have a few questions as have a couple of blazers however find the shoulders pads almost too boxy/padded for my liking and body frame. a) Can I replace them with a lesser thickness. (Something softer.) b) Will they have to be otherwise the same dimensions? c) Rather than sewing them in, could I attach them instead with l/4" strips of velcro (type you use in doll clothes) so they could also be removable and perhaps be used in more than one garment? These are blazers I would not be taking off and they would co-ordinate with the garment's lining. With appreciation of any advice.

Hi mrsbenn - (a) Garments are usually made for a specific size of shoulder pad, meaning that the slant of the shoulder seam on the pattern is adjusted up away from the body to accommodate the thickness of the pad. Sometimes you can use a smaller / less thick shoulder pad and the jacket looks fine. However sometimes the jacket looks big / loose in the shoulder area, in which case the shoulder seam can be adjusted if it's possible to ease the sleeve cap in. (b) They do not have to be the same dimension. In fact, sometimes using a pad with smaller dimensions -- and perhaps a different type of material / composition -- will make the jacket look less structured in the shoulder area. (c) Yes.
