I've been trying to get some sewing done this year for the girls so here is my latest creation.
I found this pick online and at first glance thought it was shorter in front. So using some of the beautiful wolf faux fur material the girls picked out on clearance a while back I threw together a few pieces from different patterns and tried to create this.
And with that said here's what I just finished making last night for Samantha.
Grainy cell phone pics. Sorry.
Cute? She thinks so. So much so that she wanted to put it on this morning. Ha. It may be a little chillier than normal around here today but no where near cold enough for a fur jacket.
Today I'll be spending the majority of the morning trying to put together a coat or jacket, or shawl for Jessa. She is coming into her own style so it will be different from Samantha's but I'll be using the same material. Add to that the fact that I have a TON of material to use for shirts, sweaters, shorts, pants, vests, jackets and more, and you can see why I've been a little absent lately.
One thing I do need to do is update our 101 list. Lets see if there was anything interesting we did over the past couple of weeks.....
DONE:
#31 play on a playground
#38 go to a movie theater
#42 camp out in our own backyard / living room
#50 go to a bounce house
#76 volunteer
#93 preview K/2nd grade lessons
#95 do a pageant
#96 do a book report every week
See? We have been busy. I just need to do a better job of updating my blog.
UPDATE
After much contemplation I decided to change Samantha's coat into a jacket by chopping off the bottom of the back. Much better. And with Jessa's jacket finished they are now ready for any cold days come this fall and winter.
Next up - working on my first maxi-skirt for myself. Yep. I'm going to sew myself something. Who woulda thunk it? LOL.
