I feel confined. About 30 years ago my mom and dad gave me a sweatshirt and try as I might, I simply could not keep that on me for more than 5 minutes. I decided to reconstruct the sweatshirt, so I made it into a jacket by cutting down the center and adding a placket. For that creation, I added appliques in a southwest fabric and I put a lot of beading all over the areas where designs were sewn on. I pulled that jacket out a few days ago (because of the recent 5 day cold snap we had) and I couldn't believe the attention that jacket drew. So...... I decided to make a new one. I bought a black sweatshirt and started my creation using the most gorgeous fabric evahhhhhhh. I had purchased this fabric at a small fabric and yarn shop in Sun City West. Had no idea what I was going to use it for but I knew I had to have it. Out it came for this new jacket....and I am really happy with the end results. I added some prairie points to give the creation some pizazz, and the pocket is a nice touch. This tossed me into the blender for a wild sewing spree on making sweatshirt jackets. So far, I've done 5, and I have 5 to go. Having fun!..... I like the different sweatshirt colors mixed with pretty fabrics and each creation has a different flair to it. TFL....
