Projects!
by Carol Jessop
Find this item in our catalogue.
Jacket Notes:
Sewers no longer have to be hemmed in by traditional
patterns. The Sew What! series introduces a whole new sewing style — free-form,
improvisational, and self-expressive. With no prior experience, crafty young
women can now create simple, colorful wearables using not much more than a tape
measure, some fabric, and a basic machine.
Designers Carol Jessop and Chaila Sekora have created 30 fleecy projects with
endless possibilities for personal variations. Plush hats, scarves, wraps, and
jackets fulfill the original purpose of fleece—superior outdoor warmth when
cold weather hits. Yoga pants, a robe, and adorable baby accessories, including
booties, buntings, and blankets, are excellent projects for fleece so thin,
it's hard to believe it's fleece. And what collection of fleece projects would
be complete without a few dog accessories? Doggie Do Rags, a collar, and a jacket
are simple projects, quick to sew and guaranteed to please the most discriminating
canine.
