The coat I made for my daughter last year got a lot of use. Amongst many substances the sleeves were dipped in pink icing and various oozy sticky cakes at parties. The dog rolled all over it it with mud, it got slept in and even went on a trip to the Snowy Mountains.
Each time it went straight into the wash coming out all clean and new. But you know, she is nearly two sizes bigger this year so I had fun sewing her up another one with my current Magical Lands fabrics.
She will be warm in it, comfortable and funky too. As an added bonus I can spot her easily in the park amongst the other kids. Usually she's a pink girl but for the coat she decided on the Snowy Woods fabric with the Blossom Patch in green and blue on the inside. In between the layers I used organic bamboo batting for snugness and warmth.
I removed this pattern from the website over summer but now with the autumn leaves crisp under our feet here in Australia and the cooler months approaching fast I thought it might inspire you to make one for a little someone in your life.
During the month of April you'll receive this quilted coat pattern for free with every purchase of 1m of fabric or more.
The coat is available in sizes 1-4 (requires 1m of fabric) and 4-7 (requires 1.5m of fabric). It's an A4 PDF, so you simply print it out, sticky tape it together, then cut it out and voila you have a pattern. Seam allowance included. Oh and if you top-stitch the zipper into the coat it is totally reversible. How sweet!

So very very cute, I'm on school holidays at the moment, but keep looking at your recent fabric range it's very cool - It would look great in a zig zag quilt
