Every fall I consider buying Katie a special little Sabbath coat, but I always talk myself out of it...too expensive...don't love it...too big...can't find...
I was at JoAnn Fabrics a couple weeks ago, looking for material for another project, when I found some chocolate brown fleece on the clearance aisle. At 50% off clearance, plus my teacher discount, how could I pass it up? I knew I could use it.
So yesterday I broke out the material, cut out the pattern, and had a sewing party with my little girl. She got to help with quite a bit of it, actually. She handed me and then collected the stick pins and put them on the pin cushion, sat on my lap while we sewed together, and cut the strings for me. I wish I had taken photos of the process, but at least you can enjoy the finished product.
Final cost: about $4.00. Time with my little girl: priceless.
What a cute coat! You girls did a nice job.
