Chevron Decorated Sweatshirt Jacket

Decorate a sweatshirt with fabric strips sewn into chevrons for a personal, beautiful quilted jacket. Start with an old or new sweatshirt (no hood, no raglan sleeves), two sizes too large. Cut it apart at the seams, use the pieces as a base to sew your blended fabric chevrons onto, sew it back together, add some binding to finish it and then proudly wear the comfortable quilted jacket you made.
Make a quilted “jacket” with no fitting because you use a sweatshirt as your base to add your strip pieced chevrons too. We will learn to make the chevrons, quilt them to a sweatshirt we have taken apart, and then sew the sweatshirt pieces back together again to end up with a beautiful personal jacket about which you can proudly say, “I made it myself!”
