Teal Fleece Jacket

Here's my latest make, a teal fleece jacket. 


The fabric was a 2m precut from Pound Fabrics. This colourway (Petrol) is now out of stock, but they do have others still.

The pattern is adapted from Ottobre Woman 5/2014 model 17.



Since I made the first version I made a lot of small changes, reducing the bust and shoulder width, adding at the hips and upper back. I may have overdone the extra at the hips though. so I'll wear it a bit before I dive into the next version!

I've not quite got to TNT zipped jacket status yet, though a little elastic in the hems fixed this version enough for me to be happy.



I sourced a damaged gilet from a local charity shop which I unpicked for the zips which I used on this project.

Both versions look great on you, Ruthie.

Love your yellow version Ruthie! But fleece jacket is great for winter time as well :)

I like both versions you’ve done. Red and teal. Are the precuts from Pound fabrics decent quality? Any info appreciated, thanks.

Hi. I've only made the one up so far and I've been pleased with it. Its too early to know how well it will wash and wear.
