It is the one year anniversary of my blog tomorrow, it seems like just yesterday that I pitched the idea of writing my blog to my husband right here in my living room. Time really does fly and it the best when it does fly as you know that you are living a very happy and fulfilled life same as me. My love for craft and sewing has never meant more than now as I am using my skills to create for my ever inspiring daughter. E is no different to any other child her age but she is very expressive and observant and she never ceases to amaze me. She loves everything around her and inspires me to keep creating something new almost everyday!
I found this woollen fabric at one of my favourite fabric stores in town and just wanted to make something special for E. So I made this kimono jacket with a flower corsage and wooden buttons down the front. It is a super easy design and I must admit that getting the fit right was a bit tricky at first as I made it too big and the shoulders dropped down but a seam at centre back helped pinch in the excess. I used cotton wadding inside and lined the jacket with a printed cotton fabric, rolled up sleeves.
I didn't get a chance to take pictures for sewing instructions but would definitely post some in my future posts. Another warm and snug piece of clothing for my always on the move little girl x
Don't you just loved embellishments! I do and amongst all corsages are my favourite ones. This one I did sew onto the jacket as E loves to pull anything that she thinks she can off her clothes, she likes to see them in her hand rather than having them on her. These hand painted wooden buttons just looked so perfect that I had to have them on although it did get a bit crowded in the front.
Happy Birthday T&C .
