This is a fun and easy sweatshirt jacket!  The fronts and back are composed of 4 ½” or 5” squares forming patchwork.  The squares are sewn in rows of 8 and then the rows are sewn together with the blocks offset so there’s no matching seams!  How easy is that?  Then the patchwork is “quilted” to the sweatshirt.  The sleeves are covered with wide strips of the same fabrics used in the patchwork, or the sleeves can be left without fabric covering. (Be sure your sweatshirt coordinates with the color scheme of the patchwork!)  A jazzy binding around all the edges completes the jacket, or apply an optional cuff.  Use a variety of colorful fabrics, or your favorite color palette!  Prints, batiks, solids, or a holiday selection – the choice is yours!

 

Supplies needed:

Sweatshirt one size larger than you normally wear, larger if you want more roominess, or a men’s size for more length.  Must have set-in sleeves, not raglan sleeves.  If you choose, you may leave the neck binding on for a closer fit at the neckline.
