I've seen this picture of Isla Fisher with her little girl, and I've wanted this baby coat ever since. (Probably a fortune though.)
I had a jacket I was going to get rid of, but then I had an epiphany to transform it.
Here's my very old jacket.
I'm not the greatest at sleeves, but they're good enough.
The hood was much too big. I cut up the draw string hole first to move the strings up, so I wouldn't cut them off.
It might be too big when he's 6 months, but I'll still use it. The arms and bottom are sewed shut for more warmth. I carefully sewed over the zipper avoiding the metal teeth, so the zipper is still fully preserved. I can pick out the bottom and have a normal jacket for the little guy, if desired.
I wanted to cover up this ---> pink and flower symbol on the chest and the pink/yellow stripes down the arms.
It's pretty fun sewing these and using my imagination. The only downside is having to wait for this to fit him.
