This jacket was made from a piece of reversible fleece from JoAnns that had been bought by a non sewing friend of mine to make a hooded scarf until she decided that that project was beyond her abilities, so she was kind enough to pass it on to me.
JoAnn's fleece isn't the greatest quality, though, so I decided to use it for a muslin of a new (at the time) jacket pattern I had bought from the same company who makes the Little Somethin jacket pattern that is so popular.
The pattern I used is called Start After Breakfast Finish Before Lunch, which was obviously NOT the case for me since it took years to finish but it really is a simple pattern that I will probably make again, adding the back pleat that I decided would not work with fleece.
I couched yarn along all the outside edges to finish the jacket, but the yarn was too thin to work properly, however it was also in my stash so that's what I went with. I would have liked to have used 3/8" wide strips of fleece that I stretched to make yarn, but didn't have enough left over since this was only enough fabric for a scarf to begin with.
At least I now have one less thing in my UFO box, though, and something I can wear to keep warm on those cold winter nights and at the moment need for daytime wear, too!
