Did it.....so easy and fun to do.....quilting stabilizes the whole garment. Not pc techie enough to add a picture but I did a kimono style vest to wear over satin back flannel pajamas. Since I cut off the sleeves-I'm using the pieces to try making
ear warmer headbands with huge flowers. See how you inspire Thank you so much. I think we have as much rain in Central CA as you do in WA. |
Stay stitching around the sweatshirt before you cut off the binding helps it hold its shape.

I leave the neck ribbing on until I've finished. I cut the neck ribbing off, as well as cutting up the center front after I've finished all the "patchwork", and put binding on neck, front, and bottom. I usually put a cuff/border on the sleeve so I can turn up the sleeves a little bit. A lady came to our quilt guild and did a workshop on these shirts. On some of them, she left the neck ribbing on, and put the bottom ribbing back on and didn't cut them up the front -- and her husband wears some of them. The ones she showed us were just gorgeous. I'll see if I can find some pictures and post them later.

Great jacket and many thanks for the instructions. I love to see pictures as I have some difficulty putting words into doing things. Thanks :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I really like the way you stepped it out for us. Nice job.

I've wanted to try this on a sweatshirt and I have even cut one open, but I've been too chicken to get started. Maybe now I will.

I've wanted to try this on a few of my old maxie length jackets... Not fully covered.. More like a design on the sleeve cuffs, collar and maybe a design going up the back of the jacket..I'm just not sure how the difference in material thickness would flow..It's definitely on my list of things to try...
