How to Make an Easy Patchwork Jacket
#112
I guess I'm confused about the empty spots -but you must know I am blonde - is that a good enough excuse - LOL?
In one of the posts you mention you never do the zig zag over another seam. But on the picture where I see blank spots I wouldn't know how to sew a patch without sewing over another seam.
Am I making sense? Please help!

Sorry UglyCook - it was Brendadawg that mentioned not sewing over stitching - on page 4 - that had me confused with the picture of your jacket.
I'm a newer than new quilter and am just such a scaredy cat when it comes to trying something new but I keep telling myself - what have I got to loose besides an old sweatshirt - LOL!
I'm going to get brave and try it SOON. I wish a lot of these people would share some of thier pictures of jackets they've done.

That might be a tie breaker Ugly Cook - I started in March also. But you do seem much more experienced than I do. I really didn't do much machine sewing at all - haven't touched a sewing machine in over 40 years - until March.
Sometimes I think I need to give up - I just make the dumbest mistakes. One thing turns out okay and then the next is a disaster. I want to keep trying tho.
When I get the courage I WILL do a sweatshirt jacket like yours.
Thanks for the postings.

Ugly Cook - when you got the blue fabric for your sweatshirt - approximately how much of each fabric did you get. I really liked the one you made - was it for your mom - the brown tones.
If your like I am, being new, I haven't accumulated a "stash" yet and when I want to make something I buy the fabric for that item.
Thanks! Pat
