My First Jacket

So I made my first jacket this week - in fleece.  The great thing about fleece is that it is extremely forgivable!  It can stretch and be worked over and over again and still looks great when it is complete!  Unfortunately, I don't have a bunch of how-to pics because I was taking the class at JoAnn's.  I promise to make another one soon though and add some step-by-step info along the way.  Here is the price breakdown.  This jacket was pricier to make the first time around due to the fact that I couldn't find patterns on sale.

$12.00 Fleece
$8.00 Pattern
$1.99 Lightweight Interfacing
thread
button (from my button stash)        
$21.99

This jacket can be made extremely inexpensive the next time around because I already have the pattern and fleece is always on sale!

I started out with Simplicity Pattern 4032.  I felt that this pattern was extremely easy to use and was great for a first timer!  I made the one in the middle.  I hope to do the first view in corduroy soon!

And this is what it looked like when it was complete.  Again, sorry for the lack of pictures...but I worked on something else this week...maybe I will post it soon!
