I made one of her patterns. Did a lot of fitting to the pattern first. I don't like the bunch of fabric under the arm pit and the shouler seam almost to my elbow. I'm tall and heavy. She's not like me. If I start with a 3x, mens tall, maybe there'll be enough fabric to make one. I used a grey sweat shirt and faded black jeans for embellishment and to make it long enough.

Also, I made a jacket from 2 sweat shirts I got at thrift stores. Again, I used the fabric from the sweat shirts and cut it out with a commercial pattern for the fit. It's covered with squares of fabric.

I need help from DH to get pictures onto the computer and since it's after midnight, I'm not going to ask now. Pictures tomorrow/today in the morning.
