These are just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your photos of the jackets that you made. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is going to try out these instructions.

I couldn't figure it out either. So... I went to file and clicked on edit with MS frontpage. Took out the columns and other stuff I didn't need. Then printed it. YES it is time consuming, but gives you a nice finish.

I did a Control-C through all the instructions to copy them, then I did a Control-V and pasted the instructions in MS Word.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I have been wanting to make a crazy quilt jacket and have been looking for directions for years and after seeing your jackets I am motivated. I only need to get some sweatshirts. I cannot wait to get started.

I have the sweatshirts, just wasn't sure of the best way to accomplish it. I really like the examples shown. Thank you!

I have converted sweatshirts into jackets, but I've never done the patchwork on them. Another one for "the list." Thanks for the super tute.

I had the same problem, finally tried this. Looks like it works, if you have Adobe. Right click mouse, then choose Convert to Adobe pdf. You have to do each page of the thread if you want all the comments. I just checked and I got all the words to the right. Still think there should be a setting when printing to get the right side without saving it, but haven't found it yet.

I have 2 questions. First, about attaching the patch pieces. I think I have it, but to be sure you attach one piece at a time correct, does it ever get too thick when you zig zag over the same place a couple of times or does that not really happen?
The other question is, would it make a difference if you turned the shirt inside out and basically sew the pieces to the inside side. Just thought it might make a smoother looking "lining" as long as there wasn't a lot of printed design on the shirt.
I can't wait to start this project Hey, how about a vest too!

Thank you so much for the tutorial...Cannot wait to try it....
The one you posted looks wonderful :lol: :lol: :lol:

I want to try this sweatshirt jacket. Great tut. Brendadawg, that is a very good idea, that would keep the foundation better and then cut down the middle after the sewing done.
