Ahhhh...Project complete.
If you recall,
I am somewhat following a sew-along
over at Elemental Stitches,
using the 'Carefree clothes for girls' book.
I already mentioned in my previous post
how far from the project I strayed.
Obviously, I really dodged the road where the sign said Knit!
Someday......maybe!
But for now I pulled out a scarf from the book
and decided to use that instead.
It kept with the "Fancy" theme.
So I managed to rip, pick, unstitch and re-purpose
the formerly "Nice" men's Cashmere overcoat,
and produce a "Nicer" little number for the Chooch.
All with minimal swearing!
okay---I let fly a couple good ones but
said Chooch was already asleep... so all good!
Now we just need some winter weather
and a few good Holiday Parties.
And a child receptive to wearing the Jacket
after far too many try on sessions!
Happy Sewing!

Oh, I think 4 is just right for cashmere. :-) Best Re-Purpose I've seen. Beautifully done, and so perfect for this time of year!!!
GORGEOUS.
This is cool! I love the fabric scarf, using the one from the book was a great idea. There is something about those buttons too, that draws my attention there. I love them with the dark fabric. You guys are brave to re-purpose these coats and they are turning out so neat!
this is adorable...you are never too little for cashmere.
oh cashmere is wonderful ! lovely lace on the scarf :)
So great! What a great project. Thanks for linking up!
Hooray! :-) Congratulations....I'm so very glad you picked up the win this time. You REALLY set a great example of how to make the pattern your own, and that scarf? Well...I've already swooned on flickr. Divine.
