I have started taking part in
Threading My Way weekly link party. A category is given for each week, and for this current week it is "Jackets, Coats, Raincoats and Ponchos for kids and adults
".
A few years ago I sewed a beautiful jacket for my granddaughter out of really pretty light blue heart fleece fabric. The fleece was a very soft and cuddly fleece. I used
McCall's Pattern M5743 used the size 3 which fit Evie perfectly.
I really liked the sleeves on this jacket...so fluffy and cute.
I had two pieces of light blue heart fleece that I had on hand to use for little blankets when the grandchildren would come to visit and used those two pieces to make the jacket. I had to go to
JoAnn's Fabric Store to buy the buttons and just a small piece of solid blue for the collar facing. This was the first jacket I had ever made and I was excited!
Some views of the jacket are below.

My precious granddaughter. My daughter -
sunnystitching (her mom) assured me Evie was sad not because of the jacket but because she wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken:):)

Evie is definitely much cuter and more cuddly than the jacket!:)
I never take for granted the freedom I have to be able to sew.
LOVE IT! Would really like to make one each for my girls... Was it relatively easy for a first time jacket sewer?? I have never made one either and it is kind of daunting!
