Sew-vivor: A sewing competition!

Mr Bennett

When I came across this competition not long ago, I KNEW it was for me.  Those of you who know me well know that I am a bit of a sewing fanatic.  Needless to say, I am so excited about this project.  When I found out I was pregnant, I had a million girly ideas floating through my mind.  But when we found out that we were having a boy, I was at a loss for ideas.  Sew-vivor gave me the perfect excuse to really delve into making a cute project for a boy.  This time, I really wanted to make something adorable and fun, something that would stand out. 

Coat: Made by Your's Truly, Shirt: Macy's, Pants: Ralph Lauren, Shoes: Target, PHOTOGRAPHY: Amy Clark Photography

This is how excited he was when we started taking pictures!!

I used a lightweight %100 wool in a gray and black herringbone pattern.  I used Simplicity 2526.  I thought this coat would be the perfect touch for winter.  Also, now that Bennett is walking, it is much easier to keep nice.  This was a great fabric to work with, as it has some ease of movement for the little one.  

This was such a fun, easy, adorable pattern! I think I'll make one in each size...
