Abstract

The present invention relates to a light weight garment that is intended to be used as a layer of protection. The present invention can be used anytime a light weight jacket may be needed; for example, a person reading in bed, a college student studying in a cold dorm room, a traveler requiring extra warmth on an airplane or an elder needing comfort.

1 . A light weight garment:
 a. comprising high quality fleece, faux fur, or other novelty fabric   b. having a front side and a back side, where the front side and back side are interchangeable   c. a seam extending from each wrist toward the body of the garment, whereby forming sleeves; the length of the sleeve seams is such that the garment is held in place but allows a wide “one size fits all” opening on the bottom edge;   
   
   
       2 . a method of manufacture to make the garment of  claim 1  comprises: constructing a pattern, conforming fabric of  claim 1  to the shape of the pattern, and sewing the fabric of  claim 1  to create the sleeves; 
   
   
       3 . constructing the pattern of  claim 2  comprises:
 a. laying flat a piece of pattern material which is at last 60 inches along the x-axis and at least 15 inches along the y-axis;   b. marking point TC, where point TC is determined by measuring equidistant from both point A and point B, as shown in  FIG. 2   a;      c. marking points L and R, as shown in  FIG. 2   a , where L and R are marked by measuring out at least 5 inches to the left and right of point TC, respectively;   d. marking point O, a shown in  FIG. 2   a , where O is marked by measuring ¾ inch down from point TC;   e. points L, R, and O are joined to create curve LRO to form a cutting line as shown in  FIG. 2   a;      f. mark a point BC, as shown in  FIG. 2   b , where BC is located at point equidistance from the left and right sides of the fabric material along the x-axis;   g. mark a point LE, as shown in  FIG. 2   b , where point LE is determined by measuring from the left most corner of the pattern material, shown on  FIG. 2   b  as point LT, down at least 6 inches;   h. mark point RE, as shown on  FIG. 2   b , where point RE is determined by measuring from the right most corner, shown in  FIG. 2   c  as RT, down at least 6 inches;   i. mark a curve LE/RE to BC and a mirror image curve from RE/LE to BC, shown in  FIG. 2   b;      
   
   
       4 . conforming the fabric of  claim 1  to the pattern of  claim 3  comprises laying the pattern upon a piece of fabric which is the total width of the fabric as it comes off a bolt, approximately 60 inches along the x-axis and 30 inches along the y-axis, folded along the x-axis, wrong sides together; and cutting the fabric to confirm to the pattern material. 
   
   
       5 . sewing the fabric to create the sleeves comprises: marking points LE, BC and RE on the cut fabric; on the bottom edge of the cut fabric, measuring at least 12 inches, from points LE and RE towards BC and marking points LM and RM, as shown on  FIG. 2   b ; sewing the two halves of the fabric together starting at LE/RE and ending at LM/RM, as shown on  FIG. 2   e.
