Years ago, I thrifted Simplicity 6601 from 1974
I thought the long sleeve jacket had a lot of potential, and in late 2013 I used some thrifted polyester fleece to make this
I learned two things from this project:
• The jacket is not only cute, but extremely easy to make
• I Do Not Like™ polyester fleece
I don't remember the ultimate fate of the jacket, but I do still have the buttons.
So when a recent visit to the Walmart mill end precut bins found some 60" woven boiled wool (?!--I mean, it obviously has something synthetic blended into it, but...still.) in a '2 yard for $4' bundle (??!!), I couldn't resist buying it, and very quickly realized it would work to make a proper version of that polyester fleece jacket
With the same buttons!
