Baby It’s Cold Outside…

Yes it’s cold outside, but I was toasty warm in this jacket I made from McCalls 7026. I basically made view A with view B’s sleeves. I wanted the longer sleeve on this. It also has the thumb hole although I never actually use those. 


I used “performance fleece” for the jacket. It’s supposed to be more of a wicking material so that if you wear it during a workout, you won’t overheat as easily and it will take moisture away from the body. It’s very warm and very soft!


I’m wearing this with the “jeggings” I made with V8859 (highly recommend that pattern). I did have to use some contrasting knit for the facing because I stupidly used some of the fleece for a pair of socks and didn’t realize I needed four fronts. Anyway, it all worked out in the end and I think it’s actually a little more interesting. 

 


So until next time…

  1. Denise, I really like this jacket a lot! Looks really good on you and I love the color too! It is the perfect little jacket for our chilly weather in Florida! I've added this pattern to my wish list and I hope you don't mind, I will be added it to my "sew list" soon! Great work!
