A few weeks ago Jessica from Me Sew Crazy was sweet enough to give me the gift of one of her patterns, The Butterfly Coat. I was in love the moment I saw this pattern.
I love the butterfly wings just as much as I love the little ruffles on the back.
This is the first coat I have ever made. And really, it was so easy! Jessica's pattern was so clear and easy to follow any experienced-beginner sewer could make one. Each step comes with clear directions and has a lot of pictures help you along the way.
The Butterfly Coat pattern is for 18 months thru 5 years and can be customized for each child. You can make the coat with or without the wings and it can even be made with full length sleeves or 3/4 sleeves.
Its one of those patterns that allows you to make the same coat so many different ways.
And I already know that I will be making a ton of these! I mean really, can that sweet little thing get any cuter?! She cried when I told her the coat was a gift for her cousin. Oh geez, break my heart folks! Seeing her love something that I made that much couldn't have been any more rewarding, but I better start making her one now...and her sister too! Like I said, I see a ton of these in my future.
Thanks for the amazing gift Jessica! Your pattern has already made me step out of my comfort zone and attempt something I had always wanted to do, but feared.

She may even be a little embarrassed with me doing so (sorry Jessica if you are). I'm posting about her pattern in hopes that all of you out there step out of your comfort zone and try something you have been fearing. Trust me, once you do you will realize how easy it is...and how rewarding!**
you are just the sweetest thing Christina! And my goodness, your daughter! AHHHHHHHHHH!! She is so stinking cute!!! Love her!!!

My goodness, your coat is just gorgeous! Is it weird that I want one for myself?! The fabrics you chose are perfect, and your little girl is the absolute cutest!
ReplyDeleteNice post man ireally appreciate this Latest Nature Pictures
ReplyDeleteI would never have ventured into the territory of making a coat. It just sounds too daunting, but yours turned out so cute! Maybe someday a coat will be in my future after all. I know my nieces would LOVE butterfly coats. I love the colors you chose. :)
ReplyDeletethat coat is so adorable! As is your model! If Anne sees it I see one in my future too and I have only ever made a dress before as far as clothes go!
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks intense! Very nice work, it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE Jessica! She's such a sweet and friendly blogger! I totally reached out when I was kind of feeling down and out about blogging and she was a complete honest friend during it all! I had NO idea that she did patterns so darn cute! I keep hoping I have a girl someday so I can make all this cute stuff you girly mamas are making! haha!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combos you used! Such a cute coat!
