Made: ghost jacket from Ottobre 06/2007
I was not entirely happy with the end result of this project. I was so uninspired, in fact, I skipped the topstitching. I do, however, enjoy how my little guy looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy, or something.
Project Notes: I made the ghost jacket, minus the ghost, and the hood. The end result was a little odd, and maybe this was largely because it is just too large for my son. The lining peeps out of the sleeves and pockets, which is cute enough, but not intended. Sewing the sleeves was a nightmare. Although I was really looking forward to finishing this for the little guy, there wasn’t much payoff. I also rushed the buttons, just to get it on him and out the door that morning.
Mistakes/Complications: As I just said, the sleeve ends were a serious pain. The pattern itself is pretty simple though.
Notes for Next Time: Might be better off finishing the sleeve ends by hand?
