What you should know (or desire to learn): Setting sleeves, sewing patch pockets, attaching a collar, buttons and buttonholes

Fabric: Blue and White Check Cotton Flannel Twill - This flannel is the perfect weight for a transitional fall jacket or shacket. On the heavier side of medium weight, the fabric is brushed for softness and coziness. The yarn-dyed blue and white check is large-scale, roughly 2"x2", evoking buffalo check and gingham at the same time. Make an delightful layering piece with this fabric!
