A Reversible Jacket

I haven't been able to post lately due to a serious family illness and other various family commitments that called for Super Granny Nanny!  My quilting time has been greatly compromised, but I am grateful to be able to help out my children and to spend time with the little grandmunchkins.  Well, the 7 year old is up to my chin as far as height goes, so he's not such a little munchkin lately.

I will post about something I made last summer to fill in the gap.   I made a reversible jacket for GD#1.  I used the 'Wonder Jacket' pattern by Stephanie Kurtz at Sew Baby.  The pattern ran big in case you decide to use it.  It was a little tricky fitting the pieces together at the neckline, but eventually I got it.  I was trying for an Oilily look.  Not sure I got there but it was fun trying anyway.  I looked everywhere for hot pink star buttons and thought they looked so cute on the jacket.  Then when I tried to help my little granddaughter button the jacket, I had big regrets.  The pointy star buttons were impossible for little girls and grownups to button.  I would recommend function over form for little people clothing!  Use nice smooth round buttons!  Here are the two views--

She seemed to like the jacket!  Hopefully I will be able to post, later in the week, on progress I am making on her snowball bed quilt and the soon-to-be born sister's quilt!  I have maybe three weeks to get these done!  Plus a crocheted baby blanket!  Yikes!
