I bought this pattern, Kwik Sew 3460, on last week's trip to Fabric Depot with Andrea. I did not plan to make it right away, having plenty of other projects to keep me occupied. But I was wandering though JoAnn's Columbus Day sale this weekend and spotted a shelf of 100% cotton fabric on sale for $2.50 a yard. I used five different cuts of coordinating fabric for this jacket. The sleeves are a bit too long, but the cuffs turn back nicely and the whole casual effect goes well with jeans.
Surprisingly, I often find fabrics I like in JoAnn's Red Tag collection. This week, the Red Tag fabrics were 50% off and I picked up several pieces of beautiful summer cotton for $2.00 a yard. My fabric stash is growing faster than my yarn stash these days.

I love your One Button Cardigan. It's beautiful and elegant. And I envy you your sewing ability. The jacket is gorgeous. I have tried sewing over and over and just don't seem to have the patience to rip out in sewing (which I seem to have to do over and over) where I rip and rip in knitting with barely any cursing.
