What was your inspiration?

My granddaughter needed a jacket inbetween her light one and the heavy winter one , she always seemed too be too warm or too chilled! with some looking i found a fleece with enough orange (her favorite color) to make her happy!!

What are you most proud of?

that adding the lining to the hood and sleeved not only gave me the ability to have a hood that can be tied, but the fabric choice worked well from my scrap pile!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

take your time,since working the main body into a yoke pattern piece with fleece takes a bit of manuevering
