SWEATSHIRT JACKET




Another project finished. I started out with a white sweatshirt, some vintage embroidered runners and 2 of my mom's hankies. The hankies made a great collar. The only thing I would do differently next time is to buy a sweatshirt that is 2 sizes larger than my size. After taking it apart and re-stitching it together causes it to lose some width. It does fit, but I would have liked it to be a little looser, since it is a jacket.
