Dear My Kids is having a pattern maker's contest, and I made the
top 8 with this set! Click
here to go vote!
From an Igloo posted this contest a while ago and I thought I'd give the
DMK patterns a try. They have a great
selection of children's patterns on
Etsy, along with
felt food patterns and women's patterns too! I ended up making a 2T for the
punkette and the sizing was spot-on. The printable
pattern does come WITHOUT the seam allowance, which was a
first for me. It was a little more labor
intensive, adding the 1/2 inch seam allowance myself. I just used tailor's chalk and cut! She has a few more pattern's coming out
soon and rumor has it she has added in
seam allowances in these.
For the outer, I used a pink/chocolate
chevron tweed fabric. The lining is
TweetTweet Leaves Bark by
Keiki for Moda. I love the combination together, very
autumn feeling, yet girly girl.
I always have trouble picking out
buttons so I have bought a TON of cover button kits. They are super
easy to make and they always
match!
This was my first time making
buttonholes, and I have to tell you I was terrified! I ended up finding this
fabulous tutorial and she built my confidence up tremendously. I did
practice, and fine tune about 10 times on
scrap fabric before I attempetd on my finished coat. All that
practice paid off becuase they came out
perfect!
Don't forget to go
vote! The winner gets a choice of 10
patterns from the DMK Store!
YAY!
