You guessed it...a jacket!
I've been a crazy sewing lady this past week...and I have lots of pictures to show you, just not all today.
This little jacket is another pattern from Ottobre, the 1/2007 issue. I am so tickled with the way the jacket finished up. It's perfect for the cool autumn weather, and I think it's adorable on Emily. I wrote a review at Pattern Review if you want more information about the jacket.
Oh, and I decided to enter the jacket in my very first contest on Pattern Review. The winners will receive $150 and $75 gift certificates from Sew Baby. I have little anticipation of winning, but am just so excited to enter!
happy sewing,
Ruth

ReplyDeleteLove, heather
I think that is destined to become a childhood memory... In years to come she'll say, "I remember Mama made me this pretty pink jacket and on the inside..." :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I found your blog, but I have enjoyed seeing all the wonderful things that you make. The jacket is beautiful:)

Oh my sewing Obi Wan you never fail to impress me! It looks awesome! Jackets are something that I usually fail at so well done!
ReplyDeleteand look at that model. The girl really knows her camera angles! Such a cutie.
So cute!! I love the fabric combinations! Good luck in the contest!
ReplyDeleteI love this jacket! My mother made my daughter (about 20 years or more ago) a red corduory coat with matching flannel lining. The lining has little rosebuds on it. I still have it. This gives me the idea to post a picture of it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHey Ruth, I am making this little jacket too and I'm stuck on attaching the lining to the shell at the front "edges" I don't really understand...is the lining sewn to the shell all the way across or just at the corners or what? If you have a second to email and explain it to me at rachelbeck@bellsouth.net I would so appreciate it. OK it may take longer than a second--HA.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteMs. Ruth, I posted the picture of the coat my mother made my daughter and linked back to this post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI also recently posted pictures of linens my grandmother made with a crochet edge and linked back to your blog.
