The instructions and pictures are great. I love the blue jacket! Can't wait to pick out the fabrics. You even made that easy!

Thanks a million,

This is a beautiful Jacket. Im going to give it a whirl. Thanks, Rosanna1951

Thank you for posting this! It's a great tutorial and I'm so happy that you got it into a PDF for us. Your jackets are beautiful! I can't wait to try one - have been wanting to make one for quite some time, but keept forgetting the steps :)

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for coming up with a great tutorial. I have two questions, I read where you mentioned being careful not to stretch the sweatshirt when sewing the pieces down. Would using a fusible interfacing help to keep the sweatshirt from stretching? Second, have you used any other fabrics than cotton? I got lucky enough to get swatches of silk from a drapery and upholstery store that was closing. I'd like to make a crazy patch jacket. Do you think the sweatshirt base idea would work?
Sorry that was three questions! Chris

If you are just careful, you shouldn't need any interfacing. I think that using mixed fabrics would make an awesome jacket! Just be careful about how you wash it.

Can't wait to see yours!

Wow! Thanks for the great project and taking the time to do the tutorial (and in printable form, no less!). Your jackets are absolutely wonderful.

O Wow this is so awesome, thank you so much for this great Tut.. :D :thumbup:

Thank you!!! This is WONDERFUL! I have seen jackets like this and even have some fabric saved up to make one, but I had no idea how. Now I do!!! YAY!!!!

Great jacket. However I need to learn how to do a download. I am seriously hunting for directions. Any suggestions are welcomed. :-D :-D
