Description

This is Gigi, my 9 year old neighbour modeling the blazer which is also hers to keep. I loved the pattern in the magazine and though I don’t have young children, I am lucky to be able to borrow one from my lovely next door neighbour. Gigi loved her blazer!

This is made from a slightly stretchy wool fabric and the bias edging is made from a stretchy satin. Never again will I use stretchy satin as bias edging as it drove me insane.

Anyway, hope you like it and it will inspire you to make it for your child or if like me you like to make children’s clothing, but don’t have one, borrow a neighbour’s kid. hahaha

Material Notes

Wool fabric, satin bias, interfacing, self-cover button

    The first picture looks like it came from a magazine! Correction, I like it better than the one from the magazine! The blazer looks great and one can tell that Gigi loved it (and I am sure neither her nor your neighbour will mind such “borrowings” in the future ;-))!

      You are most welcome!!! And I had some things change in my life that took most of my time, but now (there’s always a silver lining, right? ;-)) I have my sewing room upstairs (as opposed to the cold unfinished basement – brrrrrr!) and as soon as I get organized I’ll start sewing for real finally! :-)

      Ah, I know what you mean… my life has been upside down lately, so not much time for the internet either. I’m glad I’m not the only one to have a creepy cellar… Mine isn’t that cold though, but my friends are too afraid to go there. My little neighbours love it though as they have the same in their house, thought it’s actually converted into a bedroom. Anyway, always lovely to read you :-). xx

      Thank you. I believe there are a couple of these for adults in the same magazine… August 2011 issue.
