I Made THREE Coats

January 17th, 2012 @ 3:44 pm

I follow several blogs, but one blog is of a lady who makes most of her kids clothes (and they’re so cute).  I saw a post for a super cute fleece coat.  This lady made a tutorial and sold it on Etsy, so I of course had to buy it.  It was (to my surprise) SO EASY to make (and it was my first piece of clothing)!

I first made a size 3T for Ashley.  I tried it on Brody (they’re about the same size) and it was too big, so I made a second coat (size 2T) for Ashley.  It was a perfect fit and because I used corduroy instead of fleece, it was actually even cuter!  I showed Jason who asked if they made a pattern for boys.  Sure enough, the lady did, so I got that pattern too and made Brody a coat.  Each coat only took a few hours to make.  The buttons were the longest thing to do (making holes and sewing on the buttons).

So, here you go…the three coats I made:

  2. I must say the pictures don’t do them justice. The coats are much cuter in person! And Ashley has had TONS of compliments on her corduroy one. People are shocked when I tell them that my friend made it! Have you put them in your Etsy store yet? :)

  3. I will admit that the pictures don’t do them justice. I haven’t added them to my Etsy store because I have too many other things on my plate that need to be a higher priority. Some day… :)

  5. Why, thank you, but I think the word “talented” goes to the lady who created the pattern. :)
