If I wanted to remove it, I would find the center back and fold out a wedge, tapering to nothing at the neck. Because this is pieces in odd angles, it would require some futzing to true up all the seams. It would be a bit fussy, but very doable.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-20670819799982701382013-11-22T11:55:26.687-08:002013-11-22T11:55:26.687-08:00Thanks, Pamela!
