When I was working I made one in a week just working in the evenings. I made another one recently in a weekend...so I'm guessing about 10-12 hours of sewing.

I have had a sweat shirt waiting for this type of project, but was afraid to start. Now thanks to you I can get it done before it gets cold down here. Again thank you for your efforts.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! I can't wait to try it! I have the sweatshirt and some awesome fat quarters, I am going to try and get it done this week! Will post a pic when I do! Thanks for the simple instructions and sharing the technique! I think I am going to try ruffled cuffs, what do you all think?

Too cool! I bought a sweatshirt for this after you put up the tutorial. :-D :D This makes it so easy to follow - you did a great job! Thank you! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

These are absolutely stunning and I can't wait to try one of these. I do have 2 sweatshirts on hand to make me 2 more. Wonder if I can squeeze in time to make one to have to wear for the holidays - that's my goal but don't know how my time is going to go. The itch is here though. Thank you.

Thank you! That is helpful!

Hi, I tried downloading your pattern and I could never get it to work for me, would you consider email me the instructions. I would really apperciate it just let me know and I will pm my email address to you. Thanks in advance, I really love the jacket. You did a great job on it.

What am I doing wrong? Everyone is thanking you for the instructions but I get nothing but a blank page or another of the same page. I have the most recent Adobe Reader.

are you clicking the blue download box above the jacke, I didn't have any problem at all.

Thanks!

I just wasn't patient enough. Tried again, waited and it appeared. Thanks.

Thank you for doing that. God bless.

I've learned that you have to be patient for PDF files to load up but once they do, they sure are worth it. Without PDF, the files such as this tutorial would be impossible for us to down load as most of our email providers wouldn't allow the files size. Glad you finally got it.

Just a compliment which you deserve.

That would be pretty. How do you make ruffled cuffs?

Hi just wanted to let you know that I finally did get the instructions for the Jacket. I just didn't leave it long enough to fully download, I really love this jacket and can't wait to make one for myself. Thank u for putting the instructions on the board so we all could get a copy that wanted one. You do beautiful work. grannyp70

Beautifully done. Thank you for the instructions. Laura

Thank you for sharing that. Looks lovely. One day!

Thank you so much!!

LOVE IT! Hmmmm, ruffled cuffs?? My guess is cut bias strip 2X width and 1 1/2 length you want. Fold in half, gather baste on and then add facing piece??

The instructions and pictures are great. I love the blue jacket! Can't wait to pick out the fabrics. You even made that easy!

Thanks a million,

This is a beautiful Jacket. Im going to give it a whirl. Thanks, Rosanna1951

Thank you for posting this! It's a great tutorial and I'm so happy that you got it into a PDF for us. Your jackets are beautiful! I can't wait to try one - have been wanting to make one for quite some time, but keept forgetting the steps :)

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for coming up with a great tutorial. I have two questions, I read where you mentioned being careful not to stretch the sweatshirt when sewing the pieces down. Would using a fusible interfacing help to keep the sweatshirt from stretching? Second, have you used any other fabrics than cotton? I got lucky enough to get swatches of silk from a drapery and upholstery store that was closing. I'd like to make a crazy patch jacket. Do you think the sweatshirt base idea would work?
Sorry that was three questions! Chris

If you are just careful, you shouldn't need any interfacing. I think that using mixed fabrics would make an awesome jacket! Just be careful about how you wash it.

Can't wait to see yours!

Thanks, I have lots of scraps and am excited to try this. Lyn

Wow! Thanks for the great project and taking the time to do the tutorial (and in printable form, no less!). Your jackets are absolutely wonderful.

O Wow this is so awesome, thank you so much for this great Tut.. :D :thumbup:

Thank you!!! This is WONDERFUL! I have seen jackets like this and even have some fabric saved up to make one, but I had no idea how. Now I do!!! YAY!!!!

Great jacket. However I need to learn how to do a download. I am seriously hunting for directions. Any suggestions are welcomed. :-D :-D

This great I will try this Thank you

These are wonderful instructions-I love this jacket!!

HI...great looking jacket...have these instructions been removed? It doesn't download when I click on it.

Hmmm, it appears to still work for me. You can pm me your email and I can send it that way.

Julie

Thanx!

Thanks, Julie....it worked for me this morning. Yesterday was just a bad day all around. I appreciate your consideration.

Thanks for sharing, Kutnso

I just found this, and am so glad I did. Thank you so much for this very well-presented tutorial. I didn't have any trouble at all opening the pdf file.

I'm glad it's still being used! I'm wearing my blue patchwork jacket today.
