So, how do you "construct" your new jacket and what do you do with the bulky seams? Please also show the inside of your jacket.

Thanks.

I have a serger but I just used the walking foot and try and put all the seams back in their original place and take a 1/2 inch seam atleast. It's slow but I have made four jackets so far. I have attached a pic of the inside pocket that I hand sewed on after the fact and the binding atleast covered the bottom seam. I have also included the back of the jacket for a reference too.

The inside looks so neat! Did you sew the strips on the fuzzy side of the original sweatshirt?

I did one of those sweatshirt covered jackets and didn't remove the sleeves--just the underarm seam. I just crossed the seam with the strips from the jack bodice and back and then folded over the sleeve strip end and top stitched. Made the reconstruction pretty easy.

What a great tute! I just saw a jacket done similar to this last week. I have been making the sweatshirt jacket where you cut out different shapes of fabric and zigzag stitch them to the shirt. It is really taking a lot of time and thread. I think I'll stop and try this one. Thanks for taking the time to make this tute for us.

I have the fuzzy side that is showing. I figured that I like that better. I wear my sweatshirts that way, but that's me...It's YOUR jacket, you make it how YOU want.
