yes i am telling you not to be cheap. i have made several sweatshirt jackets in different styles and decided to make a jacket for my mother. but this time i did not pay 15 dollars or more on this sweatshirt. me trying to be cheap paid 4 dollars for a x-large sweatshirt, and guess what, i haven't even finish it and it is too small, around the shoulder and the arm area. now i did say i have made several jackets out of sweatshirts and this is the first time that a jacket is to small. i got this sweatshirt in the men's section at the dollar store. i have learn my lesson and won't be cheap again. now i will have to find this brown fabric strips, i think it was a hoffman brand call cappuccino, i got it at quilt show. i hope i can find it at a quilt shop close by. these are the colors that my mother like. i don't even want to finish this jacket. so don't be cheap like i did. just a little tip from me.
stitches,
yetunde
ps
in a couple of day i will rant about cats and quilts. so cat lovers please don't hate a sistah.

Hi, I'm sorry that after all your hard work it is going to be too small. If you really are wanting to finish it, try checking at "equilter.com" Do a search for cappuccino batik. They may have it or something very similar that would work.
thanks
Hi,sometimes we try to save $$ and do the discount thing-i"ve done it too. Thanks for visiting my blog. I see you also do figurative/portrait work. I had a friend who said "find your niche". I believe you have!!!Take care, Laurie
Oh rats...
I feel you. You had to see though, as that inexpensive sweatshirt possibly could've worked out. Now you know though!
