Okay, I'm just not gettin' it ... UGLYCook? Generous and Sweet are a couple of words that come to mind to replace "ugly." Thank-you, thank-you THANK-YOU for the wonderful directions. This thread was so informative. I have a couple of sweatshirts that I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep or not - but now I know what to try with them. Loved ALL the suggestions from everyone!!

Great job! I am going to try it. I am always cold in air conditioning.

Great idea for recycling our favorite old sweatshirts, the ones we hate to part with that we'd just gotten broke in good. The sky is the limit & this is a great way to use up stash fabrics. Thanks for sharing.

Both are stunning! I also like the idea of adding the cuff to the sleeves for those who want to turn them up.

Your instructions were so easy to understand. Now I am ready to make my own jacket.

You are a "dear" for giving us the information. I bought two jacket patterns from Nancy's Notions, but I like your design better. I will never get finished with my ufo's at this rate. Thanks again.

Ok, I think I'm ready to start now with one last question. Maybe I missed this, but to add the cuff to turn up, do you just continue with the piecing to the inside of the sleeve?

Mimistutz, when I made the cuff, I used a large piece of one of my fabrics (same one I used for the binding on the edges. Put right side of cuff fabric to right side of jacket and attach so that it looks like binding, then fold to inside. As I recall, I ran it about 4-5 inches up inside the sleeve. I'm sure there are others who could tell you how to do this better than I can. I sort of made it up as I went along, since I didn't really know how to do it.

In searching through the Eleanor Burns site, I found these fabrics. Looks like great prices that some of you might like.
