Sweatshirt turned jacket-The back clothesline design is from Embroidery Library.The elf size design,I have in 3 szs,not sure where from.The front Merry christmas design file says 731 folksy, may be from pinkie st, I have had a while.This was my first sweat-to jacket.I left the cuff and neck ribbing, because I like to push my sleeve up, sometimes, and I also like it to hug my neck as I get chilled.It probally would 'look' better with the red around those edges too. I was going to keep this for myself, it was 46,730 stitches, but I am thinking of giving it as a christmas present.It is a little too large for me (size Lg). I am thinking of taking the sleeves off of the next one and taking them up, to fit a little closer.I also think once I have the sleeves off, I will be able to bring the shoulder seam up to the shoulder(you know how sweatshirts hang off the shoulder,down on the arm)I would like mine a little more fitted.I will try all this BEFORE I emb, in case I mess up.Even if I do, the shirts were only $1., my daughter found them several years ago at a craft store on clearance.Oh,I forgot to say, I have the elf clothesline and also Mrs Claus clothesline, all are in 3 szs from EmbLibrary.My intent was to put the elf clothes here, but I loaded the Santa clothes by mistake and it was already stitching when I noticed my mistake.So I guess you could say THESE clothes of Santas are elf size-LOL-Toogie....ps.On the Merry Christmas design, the right side of the scoll didn't st like the left side, so I had to back stitch over it.I know sometimes they warn us, they haven't been tested, other than that, it did well,no major problem.
I love that Santa's clothes have shrunk to Elf Size.
I think the size of the design on the back fits very well.
I have three sweatshirts to 'practice' on and I haven't been game to cut them yet. What's putting me off them is that the shoulders come half way to my elbows and the bottom of the body of the shirts fits very snugly. There was a time I'd just go ahead and do it but these days my confidence is at a very low level. Still, my shirts only cost $3 each and that's not much to wreck if things go wrong. I like a more fitted, but not too snug, fit, too.
Thanks for posting your jacket and getting my 'I want to do it' juices going.

Remember, Santa is an Elf -- just the biggest one. ;)
