Very nice! I have been thinking of doing something similar! Great work!
Great job!! It doesn't look like it was ever a sweatshirt! It is simply lovely!

Oh my gosh...what a beautiful jacket! The binding & cuffs sure don't look easy to me. But you've inspired me to get off my backside (& this PC) and get started on one. Thank you for sharing your photo.
Great job on sewing it into a nice cardigan. The embroidery designs adds a nice touch.

Thanks, if you need some info you can give me a e-mail I will help if I can.
Lovely!! Really nice way to dress up a plain sweatshirt. Now you are ready to go out on the town!!
Started one of these in Brown, must get it finished ....great job Jenne...
It looks great. The trim, the cuffs and the embroidery design are lovely and make a designer piece out of the plain sweatshirt.
This is beautiful would love to have the pattern for it.

I just used one of my jacket patterns for it and cut off the hem and the front where it front would come together . added the bias binding almost as you would a quilt but cut that binding at 3" folded it in half and sewed with a 1/4 " seam turned and hand stitched it on the back.
This is one of my jacket pattern I just rip the whole sweatshirt apart and used the fabric then cut off the amount you would turn up for a hem and where the front meets together and bias binging and stitch it down as you would a quilt
Very smart Jenne. Well done. Hugs Yvonne
Thank you for this information I have a few sweatshirt would love to make them like this one. It is beautiful
