sweat shirt jackets for Grandkids
 

I made one for DGD and one for DGS. I left the sleeves in place since I wasn't covering them with the denim.

Nice job - I am sure they will love them!

nicely done

This is exactly what I want to do -- put fabric on the front, but not mess with the sleeves. How did you attach the strip that was near the sleeve seam and side seam? I can't seem to picture how to do that part. I know about cutting off the neckline and bottom trim and I have the fleece binding for that. Just can't figure out the one strip on the out end.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Love them, so creative!!!!

Great idea they should just love them. Merry Christmas :)

Great looking jackets!

I just carefully cut those strips so I could fold them under and around the sleeve seam. Then I top stitched it close to the seam.
I also used part of the bottom band for the neck binding.

Thank you! I've kind of envisioned that, but I kept wondering if there was another way that I just hadn't seen or thought of. I hated to think I could have done something easier or more fool proof -- fool proof is good in my book...

The jackets are going to make your grands look very stylish! Nice job! The grands should love them.
