New coat for K

A few weeks ago, as I was getting K off to school, I realized she had no good "it's cold but not snowing" coat.  That morning, I went through my fabric stash, and picked some out to make a new coat for her.  I used Michael Millers Hoopla Dot in Pink
Edit: I used a modified version of Burda 9676 pattern.

It has HOT pink flannel lining and a lime green zipper- I love bright colors!

I added a layer of cotton batting for warmth, and sewed it in various places to the lining to prevent bunching in the wash.  Since we live in rainy Washington, a hat was a must.  The coats I made previously were quite long.  I like this length better. 

It's quite foggy here this morning which means it should get nice and sunny soon!

The coats!

I finally got a pic of the coat I made for the twins. Here it is! They are black with white lining, and black buttons.

Sleep sacks, coats and more!

I know it's been a long time since my last post. I actually haven't touched the sewing machine much in the past few weeks. I made matching coats for twin girls who turned 4. I asked if I could make something for them. Their Mom picked out the colors, and they turned out well! Unfortunately, I forgot to take pics of them, so I will have to ask their Mom for some. I will post them in the future!
The next week, I made a few sleep sacks, and shipped them off.






Then it was time to get ready for vacation. We took our family to the Oregon Coast for a week. We had a lot of fun- I underestimated how much work it is to leave home and set up somewhere else, but we made it! We walked some endless beaches, went sand railing, and had some R&R.
Now that we are back home, I am getting inspired to try a few new projects... after I finish some curtains for our bedroom. I love so many fabrics out there right now! I will keep you posted on the projects I accomplish... until then...
