It's nice to know about the clear template sheets and about the permanent spray glue. These will go on my sewing list for my next trip home to the U.S. I have a Vogue pattern for shoulder pads that I have been using forever. All possible types of pads are included in it. I would like to make a more permanent copy than the present tracing paper copies I've made. It is truly a wonderful pattern. What I have found useful is marking the front and back along with the shoulder line. This makes it easier to assemble the pieces. Especially those little itty bitty ones. Thank you for the information.

what a great idea. It's on my list of things to do one day but you have motivated me to do it much sooner. I did not know about the spray! Need to have it now that I do Thanks Nancy.

Nancy, thank you for sharing this tip. You mention a couple of things that are new to me. What is a chest shield? What is punch batting? It seems that you do not cover your shoulder pads with slippery fabric or fabric that matches the garment. Is this true? Thank you so much, Dee

Thanks for the glue tip Nancy.

I'm glad you found this tip helpful. Deesews, these instructions are for creating the type of uncovered shoulder pad that's sewn inside lined, tailored jackets. Chest shields are used to fill in the hollow area above the bust that many women have. Punch batting is a compressed cotton batting that's available in the quilting section of Hancock's or Joann.

Very clever, Nancy. You're right, good shoulder pads are hard to find. You could even use the front/back jacket pieces to customize the pad shape to your own particular pattern. Great tip.

Did you use synthetic or wool felt for the top layer? Just as an FYI, several years ago I picked up a shoulder pad pattern by one of the big name pattern companies (vogue or butterick?).

Could you use the same process with batting as inner layers? Or will it break down or be lumpy?
