Jelly Roll Jacket - this is what I've made with my birthday present. The third and fourth pictures show the body, before I cut the armholes out, and the sleeves. (Colour not at all accurate on those two.) I think the little leftover pieces might just be enough to make a bag.....

25546Well there will be no missing you now at the next NEC meeting. Will you be changing your name to Josephine with the coat of many colores and singing " I can sing a rainbow " as you walk along the aisles.
Love the idea and such a creative use of a jelly roll.

Enjoy wearing it.

I had the Moda "Eat your Fruit and Veggies" jelly roll as a gift with the suggestion that I could make a jacket. I did a google image search for "Jelly Roll Jackets" for inspiration and spent a week or so making possible jackets in my head. This isn't like any of the ones I saw in my search! I used a simple paper jacket pattern for the armholes and sleeve heads.

It was - I was expecting 2 strips of each of the 20 fabrics, but when I unrolled it, there were 10 fabrics with only one strip each and 15 with 2. That made symmetry a bit of a challenge!

815Oh this is wonderful....a very very long time ago I also made one of these and I loved it to death....I was very sad when I had to let it go, (It got to small for me) I wore it all the time but it never wore out. Enjoy your coat it will look beautiful on.

57492My, what a wonderful use of jelly roll. I love the black contrast. Were the arms difficult to add to the bodice? Well done.

Tricky, I had to set them in properly! (If I make something with side seams, I put the sleeves in before I stitch up the sides!)
