So I needed a jacket for my morning walks. I had some softshell fabric in my stash and made a jacket using the <a href=\"https:\/\/oliverands.com\/shop\/neighborhood-sweatshirt-hoodie-sewing-pattern.html\">Neighborhood Hoodie<\/a> pattern.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80044\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1-760x1140.jpg\" alt=\"Front view of woman wearing a jacket in a colorful print.\" width=\"760\" height=\"1140\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1-760x1140.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1-500x750.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1-768x1152.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacket1-1200x649.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Softshell fabric is water and wind-resistant because the surface of the softshell is dense.
