I made a poncho for my GGD. Well I redid it. I got it at a yard sale cut out poncho parts sewn together, I read pattern and it says to overlap. now that sounds kinda hard but it really isn't. I ripped out her seams and overlapped and it looks Great. You can use Pinking shears and cut very close to sewing line but not into as I did and it gives it good clean finish.. Also use a zigzag because of the fleece stretching.
I am going to be doing one in camoflage in a few days going to do it the same way. Never thought about useing the left overs and piecing them put you can bet I am now Thank you Very much for the Idea. I believe if you pink them on both sides you will not have the bulk. Fleece is very strong and very forgiveing. Thanks again for the Idea.
Forgot something LOL I would not put batting in usless it was very thin. Flannel would be ok I think, maybe Flannel without any kind of Batting to cover seams. But seams if pinked do not have bulk and are not unattractive.
