I have been quilting a long time but I thought I would take some classes to learn something new. I took the class to turn a sweatshirt into a jacket. She said she would cut it so it would fit in the end. I am big in the chest area and I was anxious to do this because I love jackets. Well, halfway thru the 6 hr. class when I tried it on, it did not fit, it would not close in front unless I added more sweatshirt, which I did not have. It is still not finished and I plan to rip it all apart and use the fabric to make a good jacket for me. I tailored jackets for years but I cannot fit myself but I will do this for me one way or another. The fabric is beautiful and I love it. So I will consider classes but I will chose more wisely.
