childrens sewing-jacket

I didn't think this project was ever going to end. I had to spend 4 hours in the sewing lab on a Friday night...lame! Most of the contsruction of this jacket was done inside-out so it was really confusing to look at and really hard to understand how all of it was going to work. I learned alot of things with it though.
*Fleece stretches easily and my lining fabric didn't budge so that causes some problems but you can ease in fleece quite well.
*Fleece is horrible to unpick because the stitching just sinks right in and you can hardly see.
*The feeddog has trouble grabbing really slick fabric like my lining.
*Ribbing can be a pain but it isn't that bad to work with.
*Lastly with all of my sewing classes I am no longer terrified of putting in zippers even invisible ones. The outside and the lining were assembled seperately then sewn together inside-out. The entire jacket was then turned right-side out through a hole in the seam of the sleeve lining. All raw edges are enclosed in the jacket.
My zipper was just a little short of reaching all the way up to the hood. To solve the problem I added a tab and button to fill the gap and it turned out to be a nice detail. Genius right?
Well I just wrote a bunch of jibberish about this jacket that probably doesn't matter to anyone but this jacket was alot more complicated for me to make than it looks.
