Fleece version done–mixed results

I finished up a fleece version today. It's ... ok. I messed up the collar. I was going to do it in quilting cotton on the inside not fleece, but I totally forgot when cutting out the fabric and the two layers of fleece are a bit awkward. The collar was hard to sew on properly. And picking out stitches in fleece is a bear! Not worth it, especially since this was a draft anyway, in some fleece I had hanging around. I also made a one piece back, and skipped one of the lining pieces, as the fleece is so bulky. I pieced the sleeves, which makes for a nice look. The pockets are great, my little guy loves them. He did put it on right as it was done, and hasn't taken it off yet. I sewed the 3T and it's too big, but I expected that as my son is just over 2. Can't add a picture now, but I'll try to add one to the Flickr pool.
