Thanks, Bob, that's really helpful, not to mention encouraging. And your jacket looks great. Did you make the blue one the same way? I figured to put Lycra binding around the bottom, but I like your velcro tabs idea.

The material I have is 1.1oz, I think, so it might be slightly heavier, but not much.

I don't have a serger, but I think I can overcast the edges and make it work reasonably well.

It hadn't occurred to me to stack the fabric and insulation the way you describe. It sounds as though it might make the seams a little bulky, but it seems to have worked for you. Did you do anything special to minimize the bulk of the seams?

Do you happen to remember what weight of Primaloft you used (60gr, 80gr, etc.)?
