I was supposed to have this done for MIL for Christmas, but things got in the way. Finally got it done and I think it came out pretty good, if I do say so myself!
The label could have been a bit smaller, but oh well....MIL will brag on it about how much she loves it.
The colors are actually a bit brighter. I used all my Asian Fabric for this, so I hope she REALLY likes it. I don't usually use that fabric for something I will give away. I pretty much hoard it. lol

Thanks!
candikan...I used the sweatshirt. Screwed up on it at the beginning, but stepped back, took a breath and then muddled thru it. I used Timtex (sp) for the pockets because I wanted them stiffer. MIL always complains about her pockets folding in on her when she goes to put something in them. This way, I don't think that will happen.
All in all, it was pretty easy to make.
One thing I did do that it doesn't say in the directions is....it says to CUT at the seams. I didn't. I took the stitches out (rip, rip, rip). That way, the sweatshirt fabric didn't "roll" on me.
