Good morning! As Christmas approaches, our weeks feel stuffed to the gills and as much as I’m enjoying the socializing, I keep punting sewing out of the to-do queue.<\/p>\n

We’re diving headlong into winter, and alas, K somehow lost the Alpine coat<\/a> I made her which would have lasted another season. I loved that coat, so\u00a0it’s a bummer. Which means, I’m now trying to find my sew-jo for stitching another one up.<\/p>\n

All this to say, this is a cheater of a post since I don’t have much to show you other than the fabrics I’d like to make the puffy coat out of (the black is water resistant and the aqua is a velour\/minky type of soft loveliness for the lining), and I’d really like to add a zipper this time, but I need some hand-holding in the form of detailed\u00a0illustrated instructions.<\/p>\n

I’ve been doing a little research online and there seems to be a lack of kids’ hooded puffy coat patterns that are fully lined with a zip closure. I might Frankenstein the Alpine with Heidi’s Spring Showers Jacket<\/a>, but wanted to see if anyone out there has other suggestions?<\/p>\n

On an unrelated note, we got our Christmas tree this past weekend and we started trimming it last night.\u00a0That little painting is by my mom, and I’ve carted it around with me for so many decades now…I don’t even know when she made it. We just got sad\u00a0news that for the first time in 8\u00a0years, my mom won’t be coming to visit for Christmas due to some health issues. K is especially distraught by this news. There’s a chance she might be able to come up a little after\u00a0New Year’s so we’re keeping our fingers crossed. Christmas without Ba-chan is hard to imagine.<\/p>\n

Okay, back to looking for a puffy jacket pattern….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
