Hi, I was just reading this tutorial and I love the two jackets you made. I actually went to the Original Sewing Expo yesterday at the Minneapolis Convention Center and I watched one of the stage presentations on making these jackets. Everything was very similar except the lady actually rolled the neck ribbing down --in half (towards the outside of the jacket)
and then zigzagged it down so it was a very small ribbing. Made for a neater look. And on one jacket, she actually put a binding over the neck ribbing so the ribbing didn't show at all. She cut the binding 2 1/4". That also made for a very nice look. Just some hints for you since it looks like you make these. I can't wait to make one--but doubt I'll have time before Xmas. Even though I would like to make one for my mom. I still have 2 quilts, 7 shopping tote bags, and 2 salad bowl carriers to make for Xmas presents. And I work a full time job--so doubt I'll have time to do this sweatshirt also!. Are you from Minnesota? or from Minnesota originally? I am from MN. I always find it interesting to talk to other Minnesotans on here.

OMG, this brown is so elegant! Do love all of them, but this brown just speaks to me for so many uses. Thanks for the tute. I have been wanting to do one of these, but other tutes seem so complicated. You have inspired me to get started...right away!

Thanks.
