Simplicity 1067 Navy Fleece Jacket

Girl M didn't have a jacket for our Florida winter that has started early.  So this Momma got to work making her a new jacket.

I used the Simplicity 1067 View C.

The directions are easy to follow and the jacket sewed up quickly.  I surprised her with this jacket so I did not make a muslin and hoped for the best.

I cut out a size 14 for the shoulders, bust and sleeves grading out to a size 18 at the hips.

Quick photo before school.  She really liked the jacket and said that it's the warmest jacket she's ever owned.

The only thing she asked to change for another jacket was to lengthen the sleeves by about 1-3/4" and lower the pockets about 2".  Easy changes.

I probably could have bought her a fleece jacket for the same price but she's happy, I'm happy all is good in the world!

Until next time......................
