This Kids Clothes Week is technically Winter but I am calling it 01/14, as it was over thirty degrees here today! My mission is only to make one thing - a new raincoat for Issy.
I did some prep before the week started - cutting out the main fabric. I went away across the Australia Day long weekend so I knew I would only have a scant hour tonight.
The main fabric is a soft greyish purple laminate I got from the Kelani fabric stall at the Melbourne Craft Fair last year. I am using the Oliver + S School Days Coat pattern, which I have made previously for her.
In the hour I managed to cut the lining and sew the hood.
Annoyingly I even got the stitching around the edge done which looked great, but then I turned it over and I had managed to catch the lining folded over in the topstitching. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
SO I unpicked that (with no small amount of swearing) and then decided to call it a night. I could imagine irritably resewing it and doing the same thing again if I wasn't careful :)
So far so good!

It sooooooo not winter here - 01/14 is perfect! I am sending a big sympathy Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr back to you - unpicking sucks. And I can only imagine that you filled up your swear jar that night :) Its looking good though - its going to a very smart raincoat I think.
