Hello Cuties!
My little g-son needed a winter coat, so I cut out this one this morning. I was just finishing up, just needed the snaps, when Dad came to pick them up. I was hurrying to get them on, so they could get home, for Avery to get off the bus. Whew! I made it and I hope they did too!-lol-Even got Dad to snap this photo, before I put him in his car seat.
Looking at the photo, looks like the sleeves were a little long or the shoulder a little wide. Whatever the case, he should be warm now. Gus at 8 months old.-Toogie

Gus is certainly growing quickly Toogie your jacket will keep him warm for the cold season ahead. Photo is beautiful. Well done Gran. Sandra.

Thanks Sandra. He doesn't look sick here, but he has a cold. I told my husband this morning, if he will watch and tell me when he wakes from his nap, I would take that time and sew him a jacket. He's a good baby or I would not have got this done today. He wakes up happy and can entertain himself by watching everyone else.

Well by the look on his face, I think he loves it, Jean xx

If that isn't the cutest pair - the coat and the little one! I am constantly amazed by your ideas and how much you get done. TERRIFIC.

If you only knew, this week is crazy. A friend text me today and ask if I was sewing. I text her back with photos. I made my table runner Sunday and embroidered Avery's sheet. Monday I made my curtain topper and an embroidered baby taggie. Today I made this jacket for Gus. Also embroidered 13 prayer quilts one day last week. AND I kept the little ones today and yesterday. Thank goodness Papa can make coffee milk and cook!-lol

What a cutie! Coat is great - children grow fast; I'm sure you'll be glad there is some extra room by the end of winter

And I rocked him and gave bottles,etc. Had a phone call from a friend, while I was trying to sew, who forgot how to make those crochet scarves and had to refresh both our memories and help her get started.-lol- Then a brother-in-law come in, just at the end, when it was snap time!-lol-He laughs because I'm hurrying like a race horse, so my SIL can get home for the bus! It's like a 3 ring circus here somedays!-lol

I can't believe how much Gus has grown, it was only yesterday he was born, wasn't it? Great job on the coat and he's gorgeous! Love Chris

Thank you, Nora has us calling him Gussy, but I think we should call him little blue eyes. Yesterday was March, Chris and it is hard to believe how big he is already. I think he's almost 18 pounds and she just told me his height...but I guess I wasn't listening very well. He is easy to keep because he is so good and always happy like Avery.

Great coat, Toogie, and done in so little time! The way Gus is growing it's just big enough to last him the winter! Lovely picture.

Thanks mops, it was quick because he's so little and only 6 pieces to the pattern, I think. I still liked your raglan sleeves better and looks like your hood has a center panel. I remembered I had this pattern and used it for Gus' brother almost 13 years ago and another g-son 14 years ago.
The raglan makes it very easy to get tiny sleeves in. As for the middle panel in the hood, I just had to add that as my remnants were too small to cut out the 2-part hood (that also had elastic in it), so I just made a middle piece.
Those old patterns are ideal, you know they work well. The coats were slimfit in the70s and 80s but a bit of enlarging is sinple.

Such a sweetie! The coat will be perfect for the cold winter ahead. Do you feel sometimes you need to be an octopus with all you have to do, you are always on the go doing things for everyone, it was good to see you make something for yourself.

An octopus or a clone would be handy right now. I cut Gus out a stocking just now, need to emb and sew. I need to make 3 cosmetic bags & monogram, a hooded towel, emb a tote and make a purse...........the purse may be after Christmas as it wasn't a gift. We will see if they get made. I've had to babysit a lot lately, with the kids sick and parties are starting up, so I know I will keep them for those.

I kept 3 of the kids a couple hours today, while SIL and hubby went to get firewood. He is so good, I hope he never changes. Nora is something else too. We were talking about Trolls, and she pulled her hair up when she said they have hair like that. When I pulled mine up I asked her if I looked like a troll. When she said, no, a dinosaur something or something dinosaur, I started laughing so hard, because I was thinking, she thinks I'm so old I extinct!-lol
