Fair Weather Jacket (again!)
Mar 21, 2012 Oh yes. I made another jacket, this time for Thea. The pattern is the Fair Weather Jacket from SweetShop on Etsy. It’s seriously the best jacket pattern ever, and when Lincoln is big enough he’s going to get one, too.
I thought maybe I wouldn’t, but then I decided it would be too cute if they all had little matchy-matchy jackets. So I ordered some super effing adorable flannel and some purple baby-wale corduroy, and got to work.
This was the easiest jacket, since I’ve done it twice already. Also, I added a little loop for hanging it up. Very smart of me.
I actually didn’t buy buttons for the jacket, and just used what I had in my stash. Because I did this (read: did not plan properly) I didn’t have a total of 6 matching buttons. The 4 front buttons match, and the 2 back buttons are different. Whatever. She doesn’t care, and neither do I.
I did add interfacing again to the back straps, like I did for Phoebe’s. Phoebe’s washes up so much better with the stiffer straps, so I don’t have to iron the damn things every time it comes out of the wash. I stopped ironing Charlie’s, so they just get wrinkled. Interfacing = winning.
I just love it on her, and I love the 3 matchy sisters. She loves the hood and the pockets.
So, so, so, so cute.

Between this coat and the sleep sacks you should seriously have an etsy store! (Of course, everything else is super cute too but I have two boys...cute dresses are out!) I could just see how cute a navy or grey version of this coat would be for a boy! Gah! So cute!! And you make it seem so easy! I have a sewing machine but sewing straight lines are still a challenge :)
OMG get outta here with the crazy cuteness! Your kids are frikkin' ADORABLE.
