I made several fleece jackets from a different pattern before, and love them (see this post and this post).
This time I used Simplicity 2762 and a hot pink fleece with pink flower buttons. After I made the jacket, I sort of wished I'd bought black buttons, but I have a painter doing my stairwell as we speak, and I couldn't get down the stairs to go to the store. Being impatient, I just put the pink buttons on, and I think it's pretty cute. I can always change the buttons easily later.
I did the purple jacket at the bottom.
That's awesome, I love the sleeves! When you said 'fleece', I thought 'straight zip-front- jacket- outerwear' kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd like the pink buttons. I think the black would look cool, but will compete with the sleeves for attention.
Very nice!
