Hello.
I was really prepared for Winter this year. I made heaps of coats and jackets before the cold weather hit. This is one of them.
It was made using the New Look 6927 pattern.
I must be quite attracted to this style of jacket because I also bought this pattern.
I admit the top pattern is for 6 months to 4 years and the bottom one is for 3 - 8 years so I am sure to have at least one of these coats in my girls wardrobe for many years to come.
The fabric I used was thick stretchy ribbed material bought on special for less than $5 a metre.
It's great for keeing my girl warm, not so good for sewing buttonholes in though. Because I struggled so much getting the buttonholes to work, I opted for a press stud covered with a large matching pink button.
I added a little bow to the edge of the seam at the cuff.
This is a quick, easy pattern and worth a go if you're looking for a smart Winter coat.
I love it! Love that style of coats too!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks a lovely warm jacket. Love the extra large button. It really suits the style of jacket. The bow on the cuff adds a nice finishing touch.
