...This was supposed to be a Christmas present for Gabe, but I just couldn't wait! In fact, I couldn't wait to share it with y'all either, so without further ado...
A few months ago Gabe came to me with an idea. He wanted me to make him a coat. And not just any coat, this bad boy was going to be a military coat.
He brought me a sketch, and we went to the fabric store. Then we came across this super fun digital camouflage and he was inspired to change his design some.
And I mean if you're gonna have buttons, why not have the coolest buttons ever!?
Which brings us to these awesome toggle buttons. I sewed them on with elastic thread so they would have some stretch when he buttoned them.
Now, if I can just convince him to wear it without the collar popped we'll really be in business :-).

That boy is going to be a heartbreaker. And how sweet that at his age he still wants to wear clothes made by mama.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! He is lucky to have such a talented mama!

ReplyDeleteThis is way cool! That Gabe is so handsome - I remember thinking so back during boy week of PR&P! ;) Love how you interpreted his design.
ReplyDeleteamazing!! You both did great on this, and I give you major props for doing a complicated project in the middle of holiday madness. :o) (And thanks for using the word "boss" because that made my night)
ReplyDeleteGreat effort from both of you. Would his Dad have popped his collar, too?! Might be genetic or might just be 'boy"...
