Update

I really have been sewing the past few months, just not posting about it. So here's a look at a few things I made for Christmas. First up, the coat.... I have a love/hate relationship with this coat I made for Lindsay. I'm happy with how it turned out, but it was not at all what I was going for. There are quite a few things I would do differently now that I've seen how it fares with a toddler wearing it. It was definitely fun to sew and I'm excited to try sewing more coats/jackets. 

It's made out of fleece with a cotton lining. I made fabric covered buttons out of the same cotton fabric. My favorite part is the hood, it turned out much better than I expected. And I was so happy that it fit her great! 

Next up are Jack's Christmas gifts.  He requested monkey basketball pajama pants.  I searched high and low for monkey basketball fabric and finally had to settle for fabric with basketballs on it.  I also made him a batman belt (after a few failed attempts) and some Batman wrist cuffs.  I don't know if he even cares or likes the Batman wrist cuffs, but I was so stinking happy with how those turned out, they came together exactly how I envisioned them.  

 

Here's my model showing off the cuffs, they drown him but he thought they were pretty fun to eat!
