I've been slowly working on the oliver & s School Days Jacket that I'm making for Lil Sis. Temps are dropping into the 70s here, so it's almost jacket time in Texas.
*giggle*
The hood is actually completed with the cute owl fabric liner already:
Is that little owl print ridiculously cute or what?
I KNOW!
I digress... anyhow, I've also sewn the front yoke and panels, the back yoke and panel, and the plackets for the toggle closures.
It's starting to look more like a jacket and less like a pile of intimidating pieces. Even my dh was intimidated by this sewing project - asking me if maybe this was a little ambitious for me. Puh-leese. I can do this thing, no problem! (Hope I'm not speaking too soon...)
I wish I had more to show you but all that topstitching left me with this:
Not quite enough to get started on the next step of the jacket. I guess I could use it to make one of these:
Seriously, how cute is that? Make a little spool dog?! oliver & s is just a little cute-bomb, waiting to explode at any second. The patterns... the spool dogs. Too much.
Note to self: Need more thread.
I've been wanting to try this pattern. Did you use fleece for the outside?
