Refashion clothes
For some reason I am enamored with transforming a sweatshirt to a jacket. I have no idea why. In the hot Texas climate I don’t even get to wear them much. Nancy’s Notions had a sale a while back on sweatshirts so I bought several, which have been languishing in the fabric stash closet. I hoard fabrics and supplies until a project worthy of their use comes along (silly to say that about a sweatshirt I know). We had a trip planned to Arkansas the day after Christmas and I knew the weather would be really cold (in fact it snowed and we drove through an ice storm) so I thought it would be the perfect time to make some sweatshirt jackets. The one pictured here is so fast to make I literally made it on Christmas Day, after we celebrated Christmas and before I had to pack for our trip. In a nutshell, when making a quick sweatshirt jacket, you pre-wash everything and dry first of all. Then cut off all ribbing, apply two strips of iron on stabilizer to center front and neck edge, cut open the front and try on, inside out. I then pink under the arm to take up the excess fabric so that it fits better. This is the easiest way to convert a sweatshirt into a jacket. The other way involves cutting off the sleeves and reconstructing it, which is more work but it fits better. After the jacket fits, apply the fashion fabrics. It’s basically a quilt as you go method. I started with the lighter strip at the bottom of the jacket and stitched it directly to the sweatshirt, on the top and bottom of the strip. I then took the dark grey strip, turned under the raw edges and pressed and then opened out one edge and pinned it, right sides together, over the raw edge of the bottom strip, and then stitched in the crease. I finished off the top edge with a blanket stitch. (If anyone wants more detailed info on construction let me know.) To encase the raw edges I made double fold strips out of another fabric. I know I SHOULD have made bias, but I was in a big hurry. The only place this is really an issue is the neckline but for a quick project I just didn’t want to invest the time. I bound the neck edge and sleeve edges first, then the bottom edge, and finally the front. I had a cool oversize wooden button that I wanted to use and for the button loop I used a brown hair elastic. I have gotten so many comments on this jacket and the funny thing is it cost about $15 and took about 2 hours! It works great to layer over a turtleneck but isn’t so bulky that I can’t wear a coat over it as well.

You will love wearing your newly created jacket made with this pattern, a sweatshirt and some interesting fabric. The pattern is very detailed and explains each step thoroughly, but some sewing experience is required. You may choose the pattern only, the charm pack (fabrics are different from the pattern picture) with or without the required 2/3 yard of coordinating fabric. Select the assorted black and white charm pack or the Tula Pink Linework charm pack. Charm pack contains 42 five inch squares. There are 18 different fabrics repeated two or three times in the black and white or 13 different fabrics repeated 3 or 4 times in the Tula Pink assortment. You may also choose the 2/3 yard coordinating fabric. The listed choices are solid jet black fabric from Michael Miller, or the following colors from Tula Pink’s Designer Essentials collection pictured from top to bottom: Cosmo, Limeade, Hibiscus, Tula or Sapphire. You may also select a color from Tula’s collection that is listed in another listing. Search Tula Pink in my listings to find other possibilities. Her Designer Essentials collection coordinates with the above Linework charm pack.
