Would you please share your pattern or even do a tutorial for those who also would like to make one? Our "To-do" list always needs new ideas. This is a great one.

I am wanting to know especially if your used the method where you sewed the fabrics to the shirt, then folded them and sewed another piece to make a strip? Guess that is not clear, but I bet you can tell us how you made it.

We will all need a jacket for Spring! Ah! Spring. Will it come soon enough??
Get your jackets ready girls. Then we can have a fashion show.

fab, this is a fab-ulous jacket. did you wash the sweatshirt before working on it? they seem to shrink some. just wondered. it would be great if you could do a class for us. (whine)

thanks for the compliments ladies! yes, it started as an unwashed sweatshirt (2 sizes too large, $4 at big lots) and a variety of unwashed Christmas fabrics and cotton thread (3 spools!).

yes, June, it would be pretty in spring prints!

i don't think i can legally share/copy the pattern here, but basically it's rectangles of fabric stitched onto the sweatshirt (after you cut it open). the pattern is by Back Porch Press and this is their website.

I found this in my Bookmarks and thought I would send it along for anyone interested. Since it was posted on this open site, I don't think there is any problem offering it as information for others.
