Vintage Girl.....

I've always loved how all the vintage patterns look, but have never used one to make anything.  This week I took the plunge.  I started out with a 1972 girls' jacket/coat pattern.  Raided my fabric stash and found some lightweight corduroy and moleskin fabric and started cutting.

Three yards of fabric later........

I finally took some time on Saturday and sewed this up!!  Here she is on Sunday afternoon wearing it for the first time. :)

The inside is completely lined in a super-soft moleskin fabric.

This coat looks as pretty on the inside as it does on the outside.

 pockets...

 love these buttons I found...
