favorite jacket update

Remember my previous post of a kid jacket?

Well I finished it and

I am pleased to say:

Miss C. likes it!

And with warm/cold weather of spring it is perfect!

I used denim fabric for the outside and cotton for the lining.

I used machine embroidery for the little faces/bodies.

I purchased it at swakembroidery.com

Easy to download and use

I then quilted the denim to the batting

(80%cotton/20% poly, warmer than just cotton, but behave about the same)

 I did it for the 2 fronts, the back and the sleeves.

Then following the pattern instructions, I attached fronts to the back, and then the sleeves.

I did the same for the lining.

Then I stitched all the edges together (denim quilted fabric to lining fabric):

neck, front, sleeves, bottom.

So that all the edges are machine finished.

Then I stitched the side seams, a little tricky, but when done right,

the jacket is fully reversible!

I hand stitched 2 buttons at the top to have a more opened neck.

It is a perfect jacket to play and run.

I wish I had better pictures but it is already dirty and

 muddy from running around the yard!

It is definitively spring time!

Happy sewing!
