Hi KK Members,

This morning I finished the binding on Mom's sweatshirt jacket. She's been cold in the house lately and we couldn't find anything suitable to wear around the house in the stores. I got to thinking about those sweatshirt conversions I've seen on the sewing shows. A lady, I think her name is Mary Mulari has two or three books out - she's been doing them for years but has had a resurgence in the popularity of the altered look of sweatshirts and she put out another book or two. Armed with the basic idea, I scrounged around in the cupboards for one of Bob's older SS and found a Wilson Athletic SS with their embroidered logo on the front. I looked around the web couldn't find any real directions so I just winged it. I found a piece of cotton fabric in enough length to cut some binding on the bias and made the jacket in the picture with three quarter sleeves. Since it was a used SS I decided to just have at it. I pretty much knew what had to be done. The whacked off sleeves parts became pockets and I traced off a Scottie dog to appliqué over the Wilson logo. Barb went to Mom's to fix a TV/remote control problem this morning and took the jacket to Mom - she loves it! She wants two more so I now have more projects to keep me busy. I didn't put any closures on this jacket but a separating jacket zipper could be inserted in the front.
