I ROCKED that bizzle.

I was going to write this post about how much Phoebe hates the jacket that I made her, but screw that.  I'm effing proud of it, so I'll make the post about me and my awesome sewing skillz.

So, yeah.  I made Phoebe a jacket.  Lined.  With elastic in the sleeves and in the waist.  With a zipper.  And a hood.  And I followed ALL the directions, and ripped out my stitches when I screwed up, and made everything look nice.   And I had to hand stitch (BY HAND!) the inside seam of the sleeve closed after I inserted the elastic.

I GRACIOUSLY used my white flower PRR cord that I've been hoarding, and used my beautiful purple print flannel for the lining.  I AM SO NICE.  I mean, I let Phoebe go through my fabric and pick whatever she wanted.  MAN.  I AM JUST THE NICEST PERSON.

 I don't mind saying that the pattern -- that taunted me with its "Oh, I only have 3 pieces!  How hard can I be?" turned out to be a huge pain in my ass.  Huge.  Nothing lined up properly, and I KNOW it wasn't me.  And, the instructions kind of sucked.  But since I've made one now, I know the pattern's faults, and I don't think the next one (HA!  listen to me!  I'm such an optimist!) will take so long.

Another project crossed off my list.  Now?  I'm going to go be a lump for the rest of the day.  I'm wiped out.  Being nice is a lot of damn work.

Adorable! I can't believe she has such a dislike for these cute clothes you make her. Well wait, yes I can. She's a kid. :)

Very cool, woman. She'll grow to love it, I'm sure. Ha! But regardless, it's very very cute. And I love the pattern.
