I don't do a lot of garment sewing, but I have made a few jackets for the grand kids.
In 2022 I gifted these jackets.
The kids wore them until the cuffs were almost at their elbows!
Last year they sent me designs which I digitized and embroidered on sweatshirts I purchased:
The back of each jacket also had their embroidered designs.
The kids loved seeing their art work on jackets they could wear.
Almost a year ago I bought fleece to make jackets for the kids again.
Procrastination set in...well, we did move, and renovate a house, and...and...
My bff sent me a pattern for this cute cape - and I knew I wanted to make it
for my granddaughter.
I haven't hemmed it, as I wasn't sure about the length she would prefer,
but she went off to school in it this morning!
Kellan loved his 'jacket of many colors' (on the floor just behind Lex's feet)
but he had to get back to his Lego project and wouldn't wait for me to take a pic.
I was able to grab a picture when I walked him to school,
as he wouldn't pose for a picture.
The back of the jacket has a sleeping dragon whose
tail goes over the shoulder to the front of the jacket.
I'm lucky. So far the kids have enjoyed the items I've made for them.
Some day that may not be the case!
