I started this a few days ago and finished today just in time for today's baby shower:


Cute! Outer blue / black superwarm flannel with contrast inset and ears (fabric here ). Lined with 100% cotton interlock cowboy print from wazoodle .


I won't bore you with all the sewing details (if you want that, read my pattern review ) as to why this project totally was so difficult. Let's just say: shell + lining + Ottobre's terse instructions = #$&#*!. It turned out cute enough: and definitely warm, sturdy, and all soft cotton on baby's skin.


Multi-colored buttons , tummy panel, oval front closure.


Last but not least - piglet tail!

Love it!

I am too chicken to try Ottobre patterns. I have one magazine and just adore a couple outfits, but I need clearer directions and pictures to follow, when I read the ones in Ottobre I want to :bang: .

OK, but if you ever want to try you can post the instructions and I (and others here) would be happy to help. The instructions are terse, but they often do things the same over and over so once you've made a few outfits you kind of get the gist.

Not that this pattern wasn't a total pain!

Anyway if you ever need help, post here or PM me.
