After showing the purse I made for my mom's birthday and everyone liking the fabric, I thought I would show you why I bought the fabric in the first placed. I didn't have any pictures, so I took some tonight. I kind of forgot to put it in my quilt journal. Now I have pictures to put in it. I am usually really good about putting all my quilts in the journal, but I guess I just kind of by passed this one. I made this back in March when I took a vacation between quarters and spent 3 days at my parents ranch, sewing with my mom. This is one of the classes she regularly teaches at the Sewing Center. You take a sweatshirt, take all the seams out, spray baste fabric to it, quilt fabric to the wrong side, so that the normal outside becomes the inside, cut around the sweatshirt to get the pattern back and then serge all the seams back together and put bias binding on the sleeves and around the jacket part. I used two heart buttons to hold mine together. I wear it to a lot of quilting events, even if just for warmth in cold rooms. It's soooo comfy! This is the front in the first picture and the back in the other. You can see that the sleeves are a coordinating print. This jacket pattern works well for large prints and border prints.

That is sooo neat! And I'm not a quilted clothing person. This I could see wearing. I SOOOO need to take a picture of my mom's sewing sweatshirt. Mike wants to burn it because she's worn it for so many year and it's "sew" worn out. Me, I just look at it and it reminds me of her. =)
