Living in Florida when the temperature drops below 65 degrees we Floridians go into hibernation. Unless your a transplant, or a snow bird, you stay away from the chill. I can honestly say I do not own an overcoat. I love to see my Sewing Sista's making all these beautiful coats, and I promise one day I will too. But for right now, I only need my PONCH! Which I love and am so glad I finally made it.
I was so inspired by others who made it, so I went to my favorite fabric store to purchase some wool and I just could not bring myself to pay $29.00 $40.00 a yard for the wool I wanted. So after perusing and gawking I decided to use a soft fleece. Which I am glad I did, its just the right feel and weight. Not too heaving but heavy enough to knock of the chill.
Quickie Pattern Review:

Sizes: XS-S-M I cut the M (which was too large).
Directions: Scale of 1-10 on difficulty, I would give it a 2.
