bargello jackets
 

My version of a sweat shirt jacket. the pink is for my 6 y/o grand daughter * Brooklynn* and the lavender jacket is for my 80 y/o mom. Both done in each of their favorite colors!

Zipster the inspector is doing a finial quality control inspection before it got wrapped up and shipped off....... he is so through!@!!

Pretty - thanks for sharing!

Did you use a pattern- or design them yourself ? I have this on my someday list :)

I had a basic tutorial ( found on this site .... pre updates to site... not sure if still available) and just set to work making them....

I love them both. Great job!

Good job! thank you for sharing

these are precious. love them both. am sure your loved ones will be happy to get these!!! Thanks for sharing

They are really great. It looks like a lot of work. Someday I will try to make one. Thank you for sharing.

Very pretty, and different.

Did you sew on top of purchased sweatshirts or did you also make up the gray lining?

They are very nice.

beautiful!!! I keep planning to make a jacket with a 'disciplined' pattern but always fall astray and end up doing random swatches and using quilting stitches on my D1 and variegated thread~!!! Your jackets just may have inspired me to try again to stay focused!!!

Great job. If Mom's hair is while she should look stunning in the Lavender.

The pink is adorable. I bet it is her favorite color.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice :)

Very pretty. I'm sure the recipients will love them.

Beautiful jackets, love the purple one. Great job.

Very nice job!

Great jackets, they are so cute !

They are both pretty. Looks like a fun project.

Very pretty.

Very pretty. Gifts to be loved for sure!

Very nice..thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas.

Beautiful job. Lucky girl.

Those are stunning........very nice gift. Love your inspector as you say he does a great job. Merry Christmas :)

Like them both. Does the kitty come with the second one? or was he just inspecting the stitches.

Both jackets are wonderful and the Inspectors appears to be taking his job quite seriously.

OMG! Those are absolutely charming!! Who wouldn't love them ... I did a sweatshirt jacket for Mom & have been intending to do one for me ... maybe now after seeing your gorgeous masterpieces, I'll get motivated! Thanks for sharing! I especially like your Quality Control Inspector!

Lovely jacket. That quilt inspector did a thorough job at checking for anything amiss. Great job (smile). Thanks for sharing.

WOW both are just beautiful, great job
Have a Blessed night

Thanks everyone....
A special shout goes to :
*Quilt Addict*.... I used a sweatshirt... I flipped it and sewed on the inside, making the outside of the sweat shirt the lineing side ( the soft inside sometimes sheds and I didnt want that... but it is much softer)
*vwquilting*.... Moms hair is a dark red with some salt mixed in.... lavender has just always been her fav... I hope she dont notice many of these fabrics are scraps leftover from her gift last year... a square yoyo quilt done in all lavenders and purples.
As for pink being the 6 y/o's favorite color... shes 6 so of course it is her favorite!!! LOL
*traveler53*.... I wish the "inspector" went with the jacket.. thats where I got him from!! I got suckered my my mom and my GD......
The Quality Control Inspector really does a good job tho... I have to give him that.. if there is a straw thread that missed gettign clipped he will find it... he LOVES thread. LOL

I really like both of them!!

You did a wonderful job! Hope they like the jackets! They do look cozy.

They are beautiful! I am sure they will be worn with pride.

Very nice done,cute kitty also.

very nice, Zipster inspects very closely

Wow both off them are so very beautiful.

I wish I had a daughter who would make me a jacket like that especially with that touch of grey on it!!

Those jackets are so pretty .....love both styles. I made me a SS jacket using a Jelly Roll, very cute but when i had to wash it then I dried it which I shouldn't have so I gave it to my daughter.....thinking of making another one but in brown tones with prewashed fabrics.......they are really warm for winter. I also have a green one in crazy patch style.
Have received lots of compliments on them both.......

well, one going to a little girl and it having so much soft pink in it... I figured it will need washing every now and then.... so I heavily prewashed everything.... and then I did a bit of SITD across it to help stablize it a bit.... but kids grow so fast...
I've been wanting one for myself for a while, but I hate wearing jackets so much... I just haven't.. I figured this was a good time to make one... it really was much easier than I thought it would be.... YEA!

Absolutely beautiful!

Both are beautiful!
