New/Old Little Red Coat

Print Page

Description

My husband decided that our daughter needed a nice red wool coat. So I had a look though my stash and I found an old red jumper of his that had shrunk. I used a pattern for the body and arms piece and made up rest. It is lined with left overs from a nightie I made for myself a while ago. It’s not perfect but I quite like the result.

Materials

Old shrunken woolen jumper. Cotton floral fabric. Sliver buttons.

Credits

Husband for idea.

Daughter for modelling.
