I wanted to try a sweatshirt jacket so here is my first attempt using selvages. I found the sweatshirt on sale for $3 so bought it. Learned from doing this to take the advice of others and buy a size larger. I really should have had a XL instead of the L. It turned out quite well, except that there is no stretch in the fabric after sewing on the selvages so it is too snug of a fit for me. But a teenage granddaughter might really like it. I love all the wild colors though. If I do another, I will do a tutorial as I go along. So, keep saving your selvages. I cut them 1.25 inches (1 1/4) as this seems to be just the right size.

I proofread everything but the title! It wasn't really a swearshirt jacket!
