Start with a Sweatshirt – and create a Jacket!

Who doesn’t love the cuddly warmth or a sweatshirt?…It could be the national uniform of stay-at-home types, but it no longer has to stay home! Start with a Sweatshirt 2 is the second book by Nancie Wiseman that uses these sturdy knits as a basis for making some spiffy jackets. The author showcases five projects that involve adding colorful cottons, some artful quilting, and clever closures to create stylish jackets suitable for almost any occasion. So put away the pounds-adding batting and use a sweatshirt as the basis for your art. In addition to the specific instructions for each project, there is a lot of basic info on converting, fitting and styling the sweatshirt, plus info on creating bias and innovative closures. 32 pages.
