Pictures of the snowboard jacket are on line! I almost cried with frustration yesterday, but I did it, and it's done and I'm happy and DS better be happy, or I may have to disown him! He can't get out here until Thursday to get it. I still have to put in the drawstring at the bottom, but I wanted to wait until I made sure the gaiter is in the right place before doing the final hem, at the moment it is basted up. Next job, 2 piece bathing suit for the 5 month old GD, for her swimming lessons. photo album (http://photobucket.com/albums/v425/LauraBC/Sewing/) Laura

I really like the way you did the side vents. The jacket came out wonderfully. And, I couldn't help noticing--Those are the snazziest diaper covers I have ever seen! Lucky GD of yours!

Great work Laura! What pattern did you use? I have seriously thought of trying something like this. You just did such a wonderful job!

It's beautiful. I hope that boy of yours appreciates it. Can I ask what it ended up costing you? Dorothy |

Sorry I messed up the link gals, and thanks Andrea for getting it listed for me. I've been reformating my computer, upgraded to XP finally from 98 and so I came to work to check out what's happening. The jacket probably cost me $150 CDN in total, including pattern, all the hardware, etc, and I still have to make the mitts which I have the pattern and fabric included in that cost. The fabric was on sale, some of the comparable stuff I found at $24-$42/metre- we got it at $15 for the blue and green, $7 for the yellow, and $13 for the lining fabric. I used a Storm Mountain pattern from Calgary #111. I like their patterns, they are quite easy to read, but not a beginner pattern - for sure! It will be some time before I attempt another of those, it was a great learning experience, and the book that Mary suggested was such a blessing! (not that I can remember the name of it at the moment). And those cute diaper covers, well, the adorable GD hasn't used them yet, she's got too small a behind, they fall off!! Thanks for the compliments, I'm really busting out here!!! Laura
