I'm really looking forward to making this patchwork jacket. I have my main fabric squares but have also ordered some additional plain blender fabric so it doesn't look too busy, lining fabric also on order. I just need to try and decide how i'm going to arrange my fabric and what shapes i'm going to use......all good fun and a good distraction away from any anxiety.

@Deafoldbat Thanks for the info, I’ve never made anything like this before so I’m being a bit cautious on how much I spend on batting/wadding. I don’t want the jacket to be too thick, it’s really just something to pop on if I’m in the car. I did order a sample of the cotton batting and it feels quite nice, thanks for the heads up on having to pre wash it.

Excellent
I’d like mine ready for the autumn, if i finish it any earlier then it will be a bonus.

A ready for August would be good 
just in time for the autumn. For me this will take a bit of time to construct especially being a newbie to making garments.

Am i in or not :thinking: I have bought a pattern but i need to check to see if i have enough fabric. @SewRuthieSews
What is the timescale for this? I'm hoping it's looooong
What sort of batting would you recommend for this? Would Cotton batting be ok?
