In my last post I mentioned that I was playing catch up this weekend on projects. So after the Halloween bags I finished 2 more projects. I only finished 3 this weekend but I am very pleased with the out come.
Project #2: A Pea coat for Olivia. Glenn wanted to see if I could make Olivia's coat this year. So we found a cute pattern (which he picked out) some cute fabric (which he picked out) and some buttons (which he picked out)... he takes credit for a lot of things. I however did all of the sewing.

It was harder than I thought it was going to be but I like how it turned out. The pattern wasn't the hardest part it was the instructions. Instructions for patterns are always difficult to read and understand but for some reason this one was incredibly confusing.

I had to bribe her with ice cream but she finally posed for me with the jacket on:

Project #3: I had some fabric left over form the jacket (seriously the pattern was really confusing!) So I decided to make a dress out of what was left. So project #3 was a little unexpected but it turned out very cute. I am sure she will never wear them together, and I will need to find a shirt to go underneath, but it is a cute fall play dress.

So I made a serious dent in my to do project pile (which Glenn is grateful for). Now onto a few more!!!!
