If you were to sew a jersey together, it would have maybe four pieces. The side panels would be the fabric that is about four inches wide from the armpit to the base of the jersey (the part you tuck in). Then there is a front panel (the front of the jersey, which is the part that connects to the side panels, and is 1/2 of the 'strap' that goes over the shoulders. The back panel would be what's left in the back. Of course, you could have just two pieces if you split the side panels down the middle and put them into the pattern the front and the back. Go look at a shirt inside out and trace the seams.

I can't believe I am giving sewing instructions on a ref site. The wife is laughing at me.
