Saturday:

Was an industrious day as I wanted to make my Raffle items for the 'Haggle and Gaggle' Sasha Day next week.


I made a denim coat for the boys which is modelled by Henry.
It has an overlarge pocket on the front as everyone knows boys like to collect things to put in their pockets.





It is fully lined, with fun dinosaur print cotton.




I made a raincoat for the girls.


This time modelled by Sophia





Pretty floral lining.

Sunday:

More coats!  This time one for Henry to keep, and one for Everlee Rose Morgan.








I bought the fabric I used for the lining in the USA when I went to Phoenix several years ago.

So very pleased with my productive week.  

Four more days to keep up my make something Creative Every Day in January.  I have a few ideas of what I would like to make.  I want to make a pair of jeans for Henry with belt loops.  A couple more pairs of shorts possibly and at least one shirt/top.  Something new and different for him to wear when we go to New Zealand.  After that though I will have to put all my making on hold while I get things ready for when I am away.  As you can imagine with all this creativity, other far more mundane jobs have been neglected!  Ha ha.  But they need to be done as I want to make things easy for my husband while I am away as he will still have Percy's treatments happening and all the other things that need doing.   

That is not to say that there won't be any creative in February, as I do still hope to continue being creative this year.

  2. You've made some really beautiful coats and what fun linings! You always find the best fabrics, Lorraine. How do you do it?!? Love the travel wrap too; a very clever idea.

    1. Thank you. I've collected the fabric up over the years. The raincoat fabric I have had since my son was a baby - I used to make little painting aprons for toddlers with it! Not much left of it now.

  3. So pleased to see you are being so creative again, it makes me smile (and provides a welcome lift in my spirits). I need to make the travel wrap for my Heather Maciak dolls.

    1. It has been lovely being so creative, although I have discovered that sewing hurts my right arm as much, if not more than knitting does! Go figure? But it is good to have my mojo back that is for sure.

  4. What beautiful clothes! Henry, of course, looks spiffy.
    I love the blue dress on Sophia. That is a color blue that is so pretty.
    And well, I have to like Dorothy Apple's outfits (smile).
    Hitty looks regal.
    The children are all adorable.
