That's the nicest one of those converted sweatshirts I've seen. Enjoy!

Love the jacket, but up here, when winter finally gets here, you will need a coat over your jacket!

I love your jacket. It should be perfect for Ohio in March. Have a good time!

All of the fabrics are from my scrap bin. I had planned to put a zipper in it and then realized that I never use the zipper on jackets (I'm at that stage of life when a cool breeze is usually a relief). Hey...it may not be 'haute' Couture' but it should be warm enough for March in Ohio!

I think that you are one clever lady to recycle in this way. Covering up the paint stain and making such a beautiful jacket, no one will have a jacket like yours, that's for sure. I just love "crazy quilting", it is so beautiful.
