I was contemplating sewing up arm warmers, but decided a bolero would be a better way to go. Although it's a simple garment, a pattern would be easier than drafting my own. Anybody seen a good one?

here is my bolero I just made from polar fleece. It's a butterick B4551 and it's Big Orange. I lapped the back and shoulder seams, made the sleeves extra long, and left the edges unfinished. I may add a fastener or 2 later.

Wow, I love that orange! I just ordered my first bolero from TE yesterday--can't wait to take it for a spin.

That's not just orange, JUJU, that's Tennessee orange.
Clashes with most all of my jerseys.

Oh cool. I may beg my mom to make me one or two of those!

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
