In craft class we made patchwork jackets using over sized, pull over sweatshirts for the lining. We cut off the seams, and all of the ribbing, then cut the front in half down the front. We sewed the patchwork pieces together in strips, then sew, starting in center back and working out to the sides, onto the sweatshirt pieces, so basic quilting was not needed. We then trimmed around the pieces, and sewed the sweatshirts together and put a small binding down the front, sleeves, neck, and bottom. We sewed bias tape around arm holes. They were very nice. One lady used soft pastels using light blue as the basic color. It was beautiful. Just the right weight for Florida winter.
