Poppy’s jacket from last week managed to get finished just in time for the cooler weather. If there is a job for jacket maker I would happily work for free, they are easily my favourite thing. This week’s wip is Caleb’s jacket who started asking for his as soon as he saw Poppy’s. I decided to add lining to the hood for a nicer finish and left off the original pockets. The toggles and wooden buttons were from the stash as was the white ric rac loops. The heart details are wool flannel appliquéd on. When she wore it to playgroup no-one thought that I had made it – is that a compliment? Total cost – approx. $16
Zip on over for more creative goodness at Kirsty’s
Thanks so much for last weeks help with the buttons and don’t forget the giveaway.

God, how clever are you! X
Great jacket. She looks really cute in her pink coat. How cold does it get in the winter where you are? (Sorry, I'm a bit topographically challenged ;-))
How cute and snuggly!
It's totally GORGEOUS and amazing!! You are just sooo clever xo
Super cute jacket! Looks so warm and toasty.
You are so #%$@ing clever!!!
So, so cute! You are one nifty mum!
Yes, total compliment! You don't want clothes that look handmade in a bad way! :) You have done such a fabulous job of this! Can't wait to see Calebs. Let me know when you are taking orders!
Great job - it looks like your little one is happy too.
Oh it's beautiful...lucky Poppy.
I would take it as a compliment! It looks fantastic :)
Oh my Lordy. That coat is DELICIOUS! I love the little hearts. You should think about adding these to your shop!
It looks wonderful, and Poppy looks very pleased.
Now I know what everyone is RAVING about! And yep, that was definitively a compliment from the other Mums. Soak it up lady, soak it up.
PS. I think I owe you five bucks!
My god!
I can't believe you made it either. I'm so impressed.
Have a great week.
Cindy it's fantastic! I can't believe it's cold enough for such a snuggly jacket where you live, it's so hot here in the day still!
I can't wait to see Caleb's!!
What lucky kids to have such a talented mama. Looks gorgeous!
that jacket is brilliant!!! oh and I posted a link to the teepee pattern so you can make one- whcih iwll put mine to shame i ma sure- after seeing that jacket.
Hey that jacket is super cute! I hope the pattern comes in Beth-size... unlikely.
What a gorgeous, warm pink coat! And it looks really great, not home mad-ish at all. And that is meant in a completely complimentary way. Great to see something made out of the jap mag (obviously they must have good picture instructions!)
You did good Cindy! The "is that a compliment?" question is a good one. Do we want our stuff to look homemade or not? Do we want it to stand out? Yes and no? Depends who's asking? Depends who's wearing?
Good luck in the hunt for the 'jacket maker' job...!!
you're too clever!
That is stunning!
Oh makes me want to make one. t
Love the heart details, you are so talented! I've never attempted a jacket but I have some great vintage patterns I'd like to try x
