Another Sweet for Valentine's Week


I finished my Buttons and Blossoms Jacket from my chapter's workshop with Gail Doane. I love this little jacket. I have the matching bishop cut out and ready to pleat. The embroidery is just fun and reminds me of Mary Engelbreit illustrations. Maybe that was the designer's goal, I don 't know. I just know I love it. I can't wait to get the dress done to match.


This jacket is made from Dakota pique and trimmed with black microcheck. This picture is not the best, I didn't have my photo taking mojo on that day I guess.


I love the shaped yoke and the back pleat. I have made a size 12 months. It is a little roomy on our baby right now, but will fit nicely into the spring for when mornings might still be a bit chilly.

Parting Shot:


She is getting so big and has a tooth now!! Those big blue eyes melt a lot of hearts around here.

  9. I love your jacket. I think next spring my new little one will need one of those for chilly mornings. I can't wait to see your bishop to match.
    I can't believe she is already getting a tooth! She just gets cuter all the time. Love those baby blues!

  10. I would like to make this for my granddaughter. It is sooooo cute. I am having trouble finding the JHB buttons it calls for. Where did you purchase yours?
    Thanks,
