Day Two - Kids Clothes Week ~ Vikings



KCW is where you agree to sew for 1 hour a day for a week, based on a theme.  Sounds super fun right? Its so much fun looking at all the projects that are posted, you can find them here Kids Clothes Week Projects.

I just love how this jacket turned out, and it was really really fun (and easy) to put together.  I made it from Ottobre Summer 3/2013, one of my favorite issues. Ive made three different things from this Ottobre issue!





The jacket is not lined and many of the pieces I used are up cycled from old onesies that no longer fit my little guy.  The Viking knit is from Lillistoff I believe, and so glad I finally got a chance to use it!  I found the big zipper on ETSY.  

This pattern was really easy to use. I was always intimated by jackets because they seemed hard, but if you've made a knit shirt the jacket is basically the same thing with a zipper.  Go for it! 

It was fun putting all the fabrics together and Im definitely going to make another one soon...maybe not quite so Euro/bright!



Looking forward to Day 3 of KCW, so far Ive loved seeing all the designs the other crafters have made! Stunning!
