Unfinished Jacket

As of now, this is what I made so far, though it is pretty much close to being done because I only need buttons. That is something I have to remember to buy the next time we go out of town. For now, I will have to settle with an unfinished project. The fabric was a leftover that I bought at a flea market somewhere in  St. Paul, Kansas for just 25cents. In fact, everything that was in the basket was all 25cents and I bought quite a few of them. I know it is summer, but I thought that the fabric was perfect for a jacket, which my little boy Harley can use the next time the weather starts to cool off again. Without any patterns at all, just a sketch, I managed to sew up this jacket. It's a little bit bigger for now, but I know Harley will grow up fast and he will be able to use it for a long while. I would say it was pretty challenging since it is my first attempt of sewing a jacket with lining. The lining is made out of a light blue flannel fabric that I bought at Walmart the other day.

(Secret Agent HF Blankenship for duty, Sir!)

I wanted to see if I need some adjustments on the jacket before I sew up the rest of it, so I let my little boy tried it on. I think he was loving it because he was just giving me poses and even smiles while I was taking his pictures. It was perfect because he had this magnifying glass in his hand and he looked like a secret agent or something. A secret agent wearing nothing but a jacket and a diaper that is. LOL!

(Found some clues?)

(I think I found something.)

This jacket comes with a hood that attaches/detaches whenever you do or don't need it. Just use the buttons and it is good to go! The hood is lined with a mickey mouse printed flannel fabric. It keeps my little britches head warm during the cold season.

The back part of the jacket with belt and two belt loops only. Just a simple design, but it was a challenge for me. The belt by the way was just easy to make. You just need two D-rings and a long strip of fabric for the belt.
