Now you need at least 5 fabrics. I'm having a blue day so chose these from my stash. I always llike to use one with a wee bit of glitter or shine. You need half yards or two fat quarters if you are using 5 fabrics.
A variety of patterns and lights and darks helps. The first jacket I made was really bright with primary colors. The one for my mother in law was more toned downs in greens, browns and golds.
Press the fabrics and stack them in as many layers as you like to cut.
