Go To Jacket - SAL day 2 (choose and cut fabric)

On day 2 we pick our favorite fabrics for the jacket. The pattern is drafted for medium stretch knit with at least 20% stretch like thicker performance knit, French Terry, fleece with stretch, sweatshirt knit, squish (aka cloud, cush, double brushed stretch minky), even thicker cotton spandex. For the pockets, chin guard, neckband and hood lining we recommend lighter fabric like cotton spandex. You will also need a separating zipper. The zipper length will depend on the size and style jacket you are making.

If you are unsure about which knit type will work best for your desired look, take a look over our P4P University Knit Types blog. Judy also included a cheat sheet that you can print. If you are like me and sometime are just keen on using a specific print for a specific pattern, read our Different fabric, different fit blog post before you cut your fabric.

For this SAL I am going to be sewing a youth Go To Jacket made with Vintage Lace French Terry and a Women’s GTJ with RockerbyeDestash Fabrics.

The Day 2 video is posted below. Check it out and once you are done cutting your fabric post a picture of it in the comments of the Day 2 photo of the Go To Jacket SAL album in the M4M & P4P Sew Along group.
