They are too much! They're going to be reminiscing for a lifetime about those awesome blue leopard coats their mom made for them. You must have had fun with them

I am so impressed! I've been wanting to try a jacket, but haven't worked up the courage. What pattern did you use?

What fun and funky coats for your fashionable little divas! How exciting that you did buttons! I remember being so thrilled doing my first buttons also, which was not so long ago. I agree with a previous poster who said that your daughters will someday reminisce about those awesome coats. Great job! Tammy Tammy

Thanks for all of the support guys! It is soooo nice to hear feedback on these! ;D They are more of a grayish blue, so they aren't too shocking ;D lol hehehehhe It is Daisy Kingdom 4102. I hate the lil flowers they had allover that jacket on the pattern sleeve, but like the shaping and decided it just needed a different fabric/print. ;D hehehe my girls won't let me dress them like that any more! heheeheheheehehehe http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?crit=1065&id=1090&StartRow=1 is the link ;D all the way down on the bottom row, left hand corner. I love love love this pattern ;D I have enough of this material left to make berets but I think that would be overkill.... Plus I lurve the hats they are wearing in that last pic ;D They look like those lil russian dolls ( I love those lil dollies! *the name escapes me at the moment*) ;D ehhehehehehe Thanks for all of the great comments guys! With me being a new seamstress (I don't think I am quite that level lol more of a sewer hehehe) it means a lot!
