I've finished the blue, it was meant to be a casual jacket, but it looks a bit smarter than I hoped - is that a bad thing?
This was the https://www.thetextilecentre.co.uk/collections/jersey/products/polycotton-plain-darkish-denim-sports-jersey?variant=25430648648
It face of it was actually surprisingly slippery to sew with right sides together, I had to be careful even with the overlocker, and it's one of those fabrics that doesn't press, so lots of top-stitching along the seams. 
I have also just discovered the joys of kam snaps  0_0

I cut the stripey fabric at the same time for the same pattern, so that next.  What I didn't think about was the stripes - they will NOT match, it's a "design feature"  :P

... and the stripey one ( https://www.thetextilecentre.co.uk/products/100-cotton-striped-print-sports-jersey?variant=21114149316 ) nearly finished too.  The only place the stripes didn't match up is on the front, everywhere else, the back sortaprincessline seams, the side seams, they all match, but not the front, of course not!

And yes, that is an unmade bed in the background  :|  :P
