Hello all! I am new to this group, and very happy to have found it. I thought for a long time I must be the only one out there forcing my kids to wear many mistakes and few perfect pieces of questionable wears! LOL!

Here is the one my daughter wore this morning. simple. reversible. all the girls LOVED it. many mommies too!

Try one if you haven't!
Nice to meet you all, can't wait to see all the great halloween and Thanksgiving stuff!
Sew good Sew far, Sew what!

the other side I used flannel. I found a halloween print that is white background with scary cats and pumpkins. I appliqued on a pumpkin before sewing the sides together. I did candy corn on this side as it has tiny candy corn in the background, and she loves them.

I used flannel because here in buffalo it gets pretty cold this time of the year!

Believe it or not, I bought a simple pullover jumper pattern from the store and simply cut out 2 fronts and 2 backs.
then I sewed them together along the hem and arm pits.

I turned the jumper outside in (turned it out the right way) then I used matching bias tape and used it to finish the neck edge.

Make sure you sew on appliques or adornments BEFORE sewing together!

It was fun to make.
