A while back I was thinking about how the Quilted clothing craze is all the rage and why not make some children's coats .........so I started pulling out some of my cutter quilts out and trying to figure out if it would work .......I also had an old butterick pattern a friend had given me of a childs size 3 coat....... started to lay it out on some of the quilts to see if I could figure out a way to get enough out of each quilt to make it.........it certainly is a puzzle but after the first trial and error I did manage to get a few made......of course I will say right now I am not a seamstress but I can follow a pattern but on these you just have to figure as you go and that is exactly what I have done......they have been fun to add the little additions of embroidery pieces, old doillies, crochet pieces and a few other details where the quilts are a little worn out........
On the inside of each coat there is a fun little added piece..
Anyway these have been so much fun to make and hopefully will look cute on some darling little girls.............if I can hopefully I will have a few more made before Glitter Market in Waco in November...........I still need to finish these up and add the buttons for the closure.......
Hope you all are having a great week............it feels like fall here in Oklahoma because it has been in the 80's this week......
