Hey Loves!
So you all know I love pretty fabrics! Working with pretty fabrics makes me so happy! This was one of those projects that made me smile.
OK. Here's a little peek into my history. Right out of college, I took a stab at teaching. I really liked my students, but I hated the classroom. Thank God for that experience because it led me to corporate education. I've been there ever since - almost 15 years.
I'm not a huge PDF pattern fan because I don't like putting them together. BUT, I have never purchased one that doesn't fit as expected or that didn't include great instructions (usually a pictorial). You can read pattern review here.

Funny, now, I'm creating designs for one of my student's son. She sent me an inspiration photo and her color request for gold and royal. I wasn't able to get to her to get the measurements, so she had them done and sent them to me. I found fabric in the ABfabrics16 shop on Etsy. Then, I searched the web for the perfect children's bomber jacket pattern. The most popular bomber jacket pattern in the search was the Ollie Bomber Jacket by Sew a Little Seam. The price was good so I grabbed it.

I know all the sewists are wondering about those sequins. Well, my machine is still intact. I used a denim needle and sewed super, super slow. It was frustrating to sew that slow but it was well worth it. Oh, and I finally got all the sequins off my sewing table and floor after sweeping 3 times.
OMG! This little jacket was so easy to construct and the outcome is too cute. It was the perfect piece for the birthday boy's outfit! Isn't he just too cute?!
I thank his mom for thinking enough of me to let me create this cute little thing for his special day! I mean really...I'm 3 hours away and she thought of me. That makes me as happy as this fun fabric.
Until Next Time, Smooches!
