McCalls 8143 fleece pullover sewn from a $3 Joann’s remnant that was about 1/2 yard too short.
Solved by cutting the front apart, horizontally, allowing me to move the yoke to a different part of the fabric.
I still did not have enough to cut both collar pieces, but used some plain black fleece from my stash.
I created a placket and used snaps in place of the zipper.
Can I just say that foldover elastic is great stuff! The stitching, even on the BLIND SIDE, comes out perfectly even. (I did hand baste it).
Also, it saved me a crucial 1.5 inches of fabric because I did not need hems on the sleeves.
Despite the shortage of fabric, I was able to place a rose at the center back of the collar (visible inside the turned up collar, here).
