    You are not going to believe this but I am making a fleece jacket also with the exact same pattern here in the UK. Im also doing the large size.
    I also decided to make it in to a jacket with a long zip.
    Im up to putting the collar in and I am finding that I dont really understand it. So Im putting the collar on in my way.
    Ive been sewing it on and off for weeks.
    Ive got some great fleece with pictures of dogs on it.
    Love the pattern of fleece you chose - suits your grandmother very well.
    My grandmother died a few days after I was born. Never knew my grandparents at all. You are so fortunate to have her.❤❤

    Nice work and such a pretty result. I think I like the shorter zipper better. That way there aren't teeth scraping my neck when it doesn't need to be closed all the way. It's easy enough to toss on a scarf when there's a breeze to chill the neck.
    And, yes, fleece is adored by my feline also. And she loves to jump on my sewing machine table too. Haven't stitched any toes or noses into my work yet but do get annoyed at times with feline curiosity interrupting my work flow. I do my best to do tricky work when she's napping.

    How cool that you & your grandma love sewing! My mom tried to interest her granddaughters in sewing, but I’m not sure any of them were terribly interested. My sister was a much better seamstress than I in our early teen/young adult years. I don’t think she sews much now, but I’ve embraced it during my retirement as a new hobby. I’m more of a machine embroidery/quilting/household utility sewing person than a garment one, but I do take the occasional (rare) plunge.😂 One thing I’ve seen and tried doing is to use quilter’s basting tape that’s double sided and washes away to help with zipper placement before sewing.

    • @SewSewLounge

      My grandma was overjoyed when I started sewing in college. My mom and aunt were both traumatized in home ec and never took it up as a hobby. I’ve always just loved to idea of making something completely original that no one else has. I’m glad my grandma likes to be in my videos ❤️

      This Bernina is my first and my favorite sewing machine. It’s a Dual Sewing Center by Arrow Cabinet. The white is model 401. I got it in 2007. Back then you told them the make an model of your machine and they cut the leaf to fit. I don’t think they make this model anymore but they might have something similar.

    • @SewSewLounge
      @SewSewLounge  11 месяцев назад +1

      My fabric was a medium weight fleece. The weight of the fleece would slightly change the appearance of the design- a thicker fabric would create a stiffer look, while a thinner fleece would be softer. If your fleece is a heavy weight fleece, just make your stitch length a little longer.
