contact a gal by the name of leslie at, [email protected]. her jacket and vest patterns are the best fitting i have ever seen. she teaches at the local college and has her students do a fashion show each year. you'd be amazed at the different sizes and shapes that come from 1 pattern. good luck with your project. connie

I want to hit that mark for people's choice so that is why I thought the chicken jacket would be cool. I have to find a jacket pattern that might work and saw a couple on Nancy's Notions I liked which would work with this idea. A straight cut cardigan type. http://www.nancysnotions.com/categor...urPicks&page=2

I do like the cozy quilted jacket but not sure this idea would work with that pattern.
