I really want to sew a coat for little lady # 5. All the girls love coats. Living in the desert makes wearing them out of the question except for early in the morning, late at night and that is maybe 3 months out of the year. I suppose it seems silly to put all the effort in for such little wear.....call me crazy. I am thinking if I make one out of a yummy solid quilting cotton and line it with a cute pattern print maybe it will be light weight enough to get some fashonista time.
I love
this one. Possibly with polka dot lining???? Amy over at
Angry Chicken inspired me with these
cute coats she whipped up.
This is the materials from the stash I have so far. I'm not sure about thee prints.But I love the retro sailor/anchor buttons.
This is the vintage pattern I found.
Anyone out there sewing coats for kiddos?????
Pin It
love it can you be my Mom too?
ReplyDeleteYes, I just bought the Oliver & S coat pattern. I bought both packages to get the full range of sizes.
ReplyDeleteWe live in "the south", and though it rarely gets below freezing ( & when it does it doesn't stay there...)it does GET COLD. Snow too, but again, very little.
I am scouring the goodwill/thrift shops/ consignment shops in search of a large men's wool coat.
I think they call that up-cycling? ha Ha
