After spending over an hour at Officeworks trying to get the pattern copied at 400%, I was ready to go.
The pattern was relatively simple. And there was only 6 steps to the instructions, though sometimes I found them a little vague. However, I managed to get the coat finished.
TaDa.. here it is. (un-hemmed)
I used a red micro polar fleece for the outer layer and a cute strawberry print for the lining. The instructions have you make toggles for the front closure, but I couldn't get them right, so I covered some buttons with the strawberry material and used some matching ribbon for the loops. (I cant do button holes as my needle position is stuck for some reason- I make do).
I think 'B' looks quite warm and snuggly. A great coat for a chilly winters day!

That is such a great jacket - I think your buttons are way better than toggles! And your devine daughter looks sweet as pie in it!
Hannah, thanks so much for visiting my blog and your comment. I'm a big Tarantino fan as well. Reservoir Dogs was the first DVD I ever bought. I think it may be time for me to have a little marathon.
Welcome to blog land. I am relatively new as well, and like you have just recently started sewing again. Having a blog has given me so much inspiration.
Oh...that sunrise is UNREAL! Wow, what a great morning surprise.
I hope you'll stop in again soon, good luck in the drawing! Love Stacy
Great job on the jacket. I love it. It looks so great on her. I really like the red fabric.
Cheers Kyla
Such a beautiful and cosy coat! you've done a brilliant job. the strawberry buttons look way better than toggles would have.
This jacket is so cute, I love it... and I love the strawberries. Your little girl looks gorgeous. Thanks for the comment and the link to the baby shoe pattern as well, I'm going to have to give it a go :)
Thanks!
The jacket----and the model---are so adorable!
That is so sweet. I'll bet it gets lots of use
Those buttons are a great feature! The jacket looks lovely and snuggly too.
