Jacket: Ottobre 04/2007 design #16 "Girls Hooded Jacket"
Pants: Ottobre 01/2008 design #19 "Jump Sweatpants"
Not much sewing has happened at my house this past month, but I finally made it up to my sewing room this week and made Emily an outfit. It is still warm here, but I want to be prepared with at least one outfit for when the weather turns cooler.
The patterns, of course, came from Ottobre, and the sweatpants are from a pattern I made last year. This time, I traced the pattern 2 sizes bigger than before. According to her measurements, Emily wears a European size 104. I made both the jacket and pants a size 110 so that she won't outgrow them before she has a chance to wear them. So, yes, the outfit is a somewhat big on Emily right now.
Now that I've started sewing again, I hope the momentum will continue. For now, I'm off to round up a few garments to enter into the county fair tomorrow.

The jacket and pants are made from French terry,and the hood is lined in knit jersey.
I made a casing for the elastic gathering on the jacket pockets.Also, I added 1" elastic to the waistband of the pants.
The "drawstring" is just tacked on the front.
p.s. Thanks to Ellen, my 13 year old photographer. She did a great job with an uncooperative 4-year-old sister.
This is a very cute outfit! Something like that could easily cost you $15 a piece at the store for a child's size.
