Adapting a Pattern and loving it!!!

This was an experiment. This is the same pattern as the coat I made for mom only in a child's size. This is a 2T. I had to adapt the pattern becouse it called for a lining. This is flannel and warm enough on its own for cool days. I kept with snaps instead of buttons. Also to support the snaps i put an additional strip along the inside. Lined the collar seam with a soft fuzzy ribbon. You'll notice the material is going the wrong direction on back. Miss cut.  Except for the details all serged. Honestly I ❤it!

Fourth of July weekend 2020

With the quarentine still somewhat on here we hung around the house :) . It was also my Birthday weekend I heard from quite a few people wishing me Happy Birthday even some I had not heard from in over ten years. That was the best gift this year. I felt so blessed that after all that time they still remembered me and my birthday.❤
Been working on a trial run jacket for my mom. Honestly I think it may be just to much for her. This was close to five yards of fabric. ( this fabric is my lets try a pattern fabric lol) im going to have to do sonething different for the closures. My machine did a horrible job on button holes fabric to thick - I think?
