Fall Fleece Jacket ~ Finished!

I just finished sewing my new fall jacket out of the softest fleece that I purchased around 2 years ago. (Trying to use up my stash before buying more :)   I used Butterick Fast & Easy B4293 - which really was easy to follow.  My only change next time would be to make the sleeves a little narrower - they are wider than I care for - especially on the bottom, however, this may be a blessing if I wear the jacket over a bulky sweater.  


Sewing on layers of fleece was a bit of a challenge, but I persevered ~ as usual.  As I always say, "If there's a will...there's a way."   My real triumph was using the button hole program on my sewing machine (Baby Lock Evolve purchased at my favorite quilt shop a few years ago.)  Took some doing and lots of practice since I was working through stretchy fleece. They came out beautiful!!! Used some very pretty silver/24k gold buttons I purchased on my first visit to the new Hobby Lobby a state away.  How I wish it were near by!

On to the next project!!  

Happy Fall!
