Emily brought me flowers this morning.
(I love that kid.)
She also dressed herself today.
Speaking of which, I’m working on a jacket for her right now. It’s almost finished, but the buttons don’t quite fit through the 1″ buttonholes (the largest size my machine will make). So now I’m shopping for buttons. Here’s a preview of the jacket, snapped yesterday before I finished the seams or added buttonholes.
I used Simplicity 3513, which I also used here and here. I altered the pattern for autumn/winter, added a lining, and changed the button placement. I’ll be sure to share it again when it’s finished. :)

That’s a cute jacket. Can’t wait to see it on her. And fresh picked flowers are the best!

She’s so cute. I’m so jealous that she gets new clothes made all the time!

I love her focus! What an adorable jacket! You always do such nicely finished work - fun lining with the polka dots. Lucky girl.

Hi, This is a really cute jacket.Did you add a layer to make it good for really cold weather? I am getting ready to make a coat with a pattern I bought but I don’t know what (fleece I don’t like) to have in between the two fabrics of the reversible coat. Any ideas? Thanks.
